Jesus loves me.

 Jesus Loves Me

A Reflection on John 3:16, 1 John 4:19, and Romans 8:38-39

Jesus loves me—not because I'm good,

Not because I always understood.

He loves me when I fail and fall,

He loves me when I've lost my all.

We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

Jesus loves me—in the night,

When fears take flight and hope is slight.

His love is not a fair‑weather friend;

It holds me close, it will not end.

He proved His love on Calvary,

Where nails and spear set sinners free.

While I was still lost in my shame,

He called me by my name.

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

So let the mountains crumble, let the oceans cease to roar.

The love of Jesus never fails—it's what my soul is for.

Jesus loves me—this I know,

For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong;

They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me—the Bible tells me so.

Amen.
