12/02/17 Weekend Grif.Net - Jesus Loves Me
Robert Griffin
[Throughout the past decades, little children have grown up singing "Jesus Loves Me". DO YOU know the tune? Someone penned words more fitting for those of us passing through ‘middle-essence’ into the ‘years of mastery’. This first appeared in the grif net blog as we neared 50. How much MORE fitting today as we are nearing 70 . . . ]
Jesus loves me, this I know ,
Though my hair is white as snow.
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(chorus)
Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me – the Bible tells me so.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in his I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there too lead the way.
(chorus)
Though I am no longer young,
I have much which He's begun.
Let me serve Christ with a smile,
Go with other's the 'extra mile'.
(chorus)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song;
Telling me in words so clear,
'Have no fear, for I am near.'
(chorus)
When my work on earth is done,
And life's vic'tries have been won;
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand his love.
(chorus)
