Jesus Loves Me, Yes I Know
Jesus loves me, yes I know—not because I'm good or wise,
But because the Word of God reveals it right before my eyes.
Not a fleeting feeling, not a hope that's built on sand,
But the unshakable foundation of a nail-scarred hand.
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. (Jeremiah 31:3, AMP)
Jesus loves me—when I fail, when I wander, when I fall.
When I cannot feel His presence, when I cannot hear His call.
His love is not a fair-weather friend, not a conditional lease;
It flows from His own character, an ever-flowing peace.
Yes, I know—not because I've earned it, not because I've prayed enough,
But because the cross declares it—through the suffering and the rough.
He who did not spare His Son has proven love so deep,
That every doubt and every fear is silenced in His keep.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8, AMP)
Jesus loves me—this is certain, this is solid, this is true.
When the world says I'm unworthy, He says, "Child, I died for you."
When my heart condemns my failures, He replies, "It is complete."
For the love that holds me steady has already claimed defeat
Over sin and death and judgment—over everything that harms.
Jesus loves me, yes I know—I am safe within His arms.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39, AMP)
Yes I know. Yes I know.
Jesus loves me. This I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Amen.
