CPWI Hymnal ‎#658

658. Jesus loves me! This I know

1 Jesus loves me! This I know,
for the bible tells me so;
little ones to him belong;
they are weak but he is strong.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me! He who died,
heaven's gate to open wide;
he will wash away my sin,
let his little child come in. [Refrain]

3 Jesus take this heart of mine,
make it pure and wholly thine;
on the cross you died for me,
I will try to live for thee. [Refrain]
