Jesus Loves Me
....written by Alan
Tuttle 
Jesus loves me, this
I know...what a simple, yet compelling statement of faith! For many of
us, this was one of the first songs we learned as small children in
Sunday school. Yet, I still find myself humming this beautiful hymn to
myself while at work or during my evening strolls around the
neighborhood. I find so much comfort in the words, “...they are weak
but He is strong” and, to most of us, this is the only part of the
hymn that is familiar to us.
If you will take a
few moments to read the lyrics of this great tune, you will be moved
by the beautiful words and messages it contains. As you move through
this wonderful hymn, the second verse speaks of His death and
crucifixion with the words, “...that I might from sin be free, bled
and died upon the tree”. These few words have such deep meaning and
sum up the immense love and sacrifice Jesus showed for all of us.
In the third verse
is a simple, yet strong testimony of faith urging you to accept Jesus
as your savior. “He will wash away my sin, let His little child come
in” Truer words have never been spoken and this is a touching way of
referring to God's son.
To bring this moving
hymn to a close, I'll simply let you read the entire fourth verse
because to attempt to paraphrase such a wonderfully written verse
would do it no justice:
Jesus loves me! He will
stay
close beside me all the
way.
Though hast bled and died
for me
I will henceforth live
for Thee.
Take a little time and
read the lyrics of this hymn. For something that has been there for so
many years, it is like uncovering a priceless jewel that somehow
appears a little different every time you look at it. Allow these
precious words to speak to you and be truly blessed! |
