Jesus Loves Me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The music was by William Batchelder Bradbury
Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.
Chorus:
- 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.”
Chorus
Jesus loves me still today, Walking with me on my way, Wanting as a friend to give Light and love to all who live.
Chorus
Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven’s gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
[edit] History
In 1943 in the Solomon Islands, John F. Kennedy's PT-109 was rammed and sunk. Islanders Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana who found Kennedy and the survivors remembers that when the PT boats left Rendova to retrieve the survivors, the Marines sang "Jesus loves me, this I know" [1]
