I once read that ther were 50 different verses to the song "Jesus Loves Me."
I've tracked down quite a few verses (See below). Can anyone please help me
find more? I've searched the web using Google. Considering the size of the
web, I'm sure I missed some.

Love,
Lorenz M. Schmiege III

===============

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! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, "Let them come to Me."

Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.

Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.

Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.

Jesus loves me! loves me still,
'tho I'm very weak and ill,
that I might from sin be free,
bled and died upon the tree.

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.

Jesus take this heart of mine,
Make it pure and wholly Thine;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.

Jesus loves me still today
Walking with me on my way,
He's prepared a home for me
And someday His face I'll see.

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.

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.

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.

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."

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victoies have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand his love.

I love Jesus, does he know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love him every day.

Jesus loves me, this I know
For the flowers tell me so;
Tell me by their fragrance sweet,
Lying all around our feet.

Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the birds they tell me so;
Tell me by their merry song,
Singing now the whole day long.

Jesus loves me this I know,
For the sunbeams tell me so;
Tell me by their gladsome light,
Shining clear from morn till night.

Jesus loves me this I know,
For the raindrops tell me so;
Tell me as they gently fall
On the trees, the flow'rs, and all.

Jesus loves the Eskimo,
Mushing dog teams through the snow,
Indians and Aleuets,
wearing Mukluk for their boots.

I would venture to say that the original author didn't have fifty in
mind. Personally, I really dislike when people add their own verses
to songs that are already written well and in some cases, perfect
the way they are (not necessarily the one in question).

One instance that just turns my stomach is "Amazing Grace." I'm the
last guy to hold anything sacred, other than what Jesus would hold
sacred. But when I'm visiting a church and they start singing these
"other" verses at the end, I just want to spew. When a song is
perfect in every way, it's pretty contemptible to add your own
lyrics to it.

Really, if you think you can write, write your own songs. If you
want to piss all over someone else's great song, try rap. :-)

You're not a big fan of folk music, I take it.

The Jerry B. Ray version:

Jesus loves me, Sure; you bet!
But while I'm on the internet
I call my brothers 'sacks of crap'
and know I won't get a hand slap cuz
yeeesss Jesus loves me (he's got my whooooole world in his hand) [We've
moved into a reggae groove here...]
yeeeesss Jesus loves me.
Yes Jesus loves me, while on the inter netttttt.


You see I could probably come up with 50 versions of the song every hour for
a solid DAY if I had to. It's a real simple poetic structure
called...hmmm..well I always hated poetry so I don't remember. But anyway
have a good one. I'm sure your pursuit will turn up many many new
versions...and probably 1000 will be written every hour so your search could
be endless :-) -Bob

Couplets. We started writing them when I was in the second grade.

. . . and oh yeah, your's was pretty bad, by the way. I don't think it will
get added to the canon, although the hilarious Eskimo verse made it in. :o)

Your metrics and syllabic emphases were just too far off. "Jesus Loves Me"
is 7,7,7,7 (strong, weak, weak, weak, strong, weak, weak; etc.)

Of course, I'm sure you already knew that and wrote it wrong on purpose. :o)

Ack!

I don't necessarily like the guilt inherent in the following verse,
but this is one I learned when I was young:

Jesus loves me when I'm good,
When I do the things I should.
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
Even though it makes him sad.

*Of* *course* he did, and I'm glad you recognize that fact!

Bob's the leader of the band
Logic is at his command
Always right and never wrong
How we love a Weigel song

Anytime and anywhere
Arguments beyond compare
Context is his specialty
Pure and sweet, his melody

He has not made one mistake
Except for the ones he does on purpose like writing lousy couplets
To expose apostate goons
How we love the Weigel tunes

Bob is true and God is pleased
Unlike S and F or Breeze
With them our Bob will not mingle
How we love a Weigel jingle

Jerry Ray provokes his rage
Watch your language! Act your age!
"Sack of crap" or merely shitty
How we love a Weigel ditty

I think it's time for an RMC contest...
We could even give a prize at the Cornerstone BBQ for it.

(Not that I've ever been to, nor likely ever will get to, Cornerstone)

GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT

=======================================

Let me toss off a few:

Jesus loves me, this I know

'Cause the bookstore tells me so
Books and discs and t-shirts say
He'll love you if you can pay

Jesus loves us, RMC
Weigel, Evans, even me
When we fight and scream and curse
Jesus loves us even worse

Jesus loves my stupid songs
Even if they're oh so wrong
He just digs their vibe and feel
And they pay for my next meal

weigel-logic rules the day
for their sins they'll surely pay

s + f said something dumb
he's a coarse, vindictive bum
now here's breeze, and jerry, too
wish they'd all just get a clue

weigel in a tizzy flies
when we decontextualize
he'll go on a plonkin' spree
'cuz the plonk will set him free

yes, weigel loves me!
yes, weigel loves me.
yes, weigel loves me!
the plonkin' tells me so.

i love this place... r.m.c!
even though it don't love me.
long of word and short of thought,
i just hit "send" but should've not.

Hehe. Yes thanks David. YOU started writing them...I hated writing poetry,
singing...and playing the piano in second grade. To such an extent that I
couldn't be made to write poems at least. Not until I was mid 20's did I
really start doing my own lyrics and every part of me just didn't want to go
there save the working of God's spirit so it never really became a priority
to actually go back and learn the names of different recognized forms now
that it's all a free flow thing. :-) -Bob

When describing something wrong...wrong seems to be the best medium to do it
in. :-) To just totally overcomplicate things though...SOME of us actually
learned a thing or two they didn't try to teach us in second grade. For
instance, often when a person views a poem written in what someone calls
'proper form', if they are perceptive, they immediately sense that certain
parts of the thing were 'forced fit'. An artist goes beyond the forms and
enters into a much deeper more complicated world where they move the thrust
of the poem's message in such a way that obstacles become advantages....
it's analogous to watching a good running back (which I'd set my eyes on
being rather than a poet....and I guess if mowing over the baddest guy on
our team and watching coaches chew him out and quickly move me out of the
position....due to threats my mother had made I later found out...was any
indication...I was well on my way) move. Ideally, the crowd on his side
would like to see the rest of the team just fall down and him stride in
perfect poetry without a swerve right into the end zone in a way.
But...there are these 'obstacles' that come up. And as the back shucks,
jukes, spins, (or like my Brownesque favorite swerves right into the would
be tackler at the last instant then bursts off with a perfect use of
conservation of momentum...) his way down the field...the crowd finds
themselves more awed than a ...perfect poem written by a 7 year old that has
absolutely no depth. -Bob

so...um...instead of looking like a running back who runs into the end
zone while the other team falls down, and instead of being the running
back who shucks, jukes, spins, etc. his way down the field, bob's just
going to be the running back who acts like he doesn't know how to play
the game very well and gets penalized by the refs? interesting choice.

[snip running back comparison]

Bobby likes to write a song
Even though it might be wrong
Bobby doesn't care a bit
Doesn't try to make it fit.

Bobby tells it like it is
Logic that is only his
We all shake and scratch our heads
Wonder if he needs some meds

Yes, Weigel's flailin'
Yes, Weigel's flailin'
Yes, Weigel's flailin'
The bull crap tells me so.
