I am so glad
that our Father in heav’n
Tells of His
love in the Book He has giv’n;
Wonderful things
in the Bible I see,
This is the dearest,
that Jesus loves me.
Refrain
(Refrain:)
I am so glad
that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves
me, Jesus loves me.
I am so glad
that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves
even me.
Though I forget
Him, and wander away,
Still He doth
love me wherever I stray;
Back to His dear
loving arms I do flee,
When I remember
that Jesus loves me.
Refrain
Oh, if there’s
only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty
I see the great King,
This shall my
song through eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder
that Jesus loves me!”
Refrain
Jesus loves me,
and I know I love Him;
Love brought
Him down my poor soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love
made Him die on the tree;
Oh, I am certain
that Jesus loves me!
Refrain
If one should
ask of me, how can I tell?
Glory to Jesus,
I know very well!
God’s Holy Spirit
with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing
Jesus loves me.
Refrain
In this assurance
I find sweetest rest,
Trusting in Jesus,
I know I am blessed;
Satan, dismayed,
from my soul now doth flee,
When I just tell
him that Jesus loves me.
Refrain
