12/27/25 Weekend Grif.Net - Jesus Loves Me
b...@grif.net
[Throughout the past decades, little children have grown up singing "Jesus Loves Me". DO YOU know the tune? But someone penned words fit for those of us past age 7 (like 70 + 7) and the song has new meaning for us.]
CHILDREN’S VERSION
Jesus loves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong—
They are weak, but He is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me—
The Bible tells me so!
Jesus loves me—He who died
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in. Refrain
Jesus loves me—He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high. Refrain
SENIOR CITIZEN’S VERSION
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.
Refrain:
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 to lead the way. Refrain
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'. Refrain
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.' Refrain
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. Refrain

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the Word,
to declare the mystery of Christ.” (Col. 4:2-3)
