Jesus loves me!

  Every night when I put little Betsy to bed I read to her and finish our bedtime routine by rocking and singing to her. I have started to sing the children's hymn of Jesus Loves Me. I have come to realize just how powerful the simple song's lyrics are - I had never thought of it that way before. I also was curious if there were more verses to the song that I didn't know. I grew up only singing the first two verses, and today found out there are actually four! I'm planning on learning the whole song so I can sing it all at bedtime.  In case you didn't know all the verses here's the song.....

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.
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.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! loves me still,
When I'm very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He will stay,
Close beside me all the way;
He's prepared a home for me,
And some day His face I'll see.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Happy Good Friday!
