JESUS LOVES ME

"Jesus Loves Me" is one of the most well-known Christian hymns. This hymn was originally a poem that was included in a novel. The poem was spoken to a dying child to bring them comfort. A musician later added the music, and since 1860 it has become one of the most well-known Christian hymns today:

"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."

That hymn has brought comfort to many fearful Christians over the years. Why? Because it captures the important truth that Jesus does love us, is our Savoir and therefore we can always and at anytime say with Peter, "Lord, Save me." Amen. (Matthew 14:30)
