An Old Familiar Tune

Tonight, Alina was not feeling very well, so I sat down to rock her for a bit and began singing the song below. I only knew the words to the first verse, so I quickly looked the rest of them up while I was singing. Shawna came up then, carrying Conlin and joined in. She thought that others might like to know some of the other verses and suggested I post all the lyrics. So, sing this to yourself, and be reminded of what the Lord has done and how great His love is. By the way, Alina was fast asleep by the end of the third verse.
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.

Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

Refrain

Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.

Refrain

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

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.

Refrain

Jesus loves me! Loves me still,
Though I’m very weak and ill,
That I might from sin be free
Bled and died upon the tree.
