JESUS LOVES EVEN ME.

I am so glad that our Father in Heaven Tells of his love in the Book he has given; Wonderful things in the Bible I see; This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Why should he look on a rebel like me, Granting a pardon so full and so free? Well might we wonder that such things could be, Only that Jesus in mercy loves me.

Now since he loves me I’ll try to obey, Love him and serve him and please him each day; Living so, all my dear neighbors may see How I love Jesus, and Jesus loves me.

Though I forget him and wander away, Kindly he follows whenever I stray; Back to his dear, loving arms would I flee, When I remember that Jesus loves me.

I know he will keep me in hope while I sleep, And kindly watch o’er me tho’ others may weep; And on that bright morn when the shadows all flee, I’ll wake in his likeness because he loves me.

Oh! if there is only one song I can sing, When in his beauty I see the great King, This shall my song in eternity be, Oh! what a wonder that Jesus loved me.
