Jesus, loves me this I know

If you guys are wondering what my good friend Kelvin Tan is saying on the tagboard, I've removed that particular post. Will post it up again, maybe, some other time. :)

Just want to share this simple song, written a really long time ago. Originally as a poem. Simple in meaning, and easy to grasp, just sing it, when you are feeling down, and see the truth in it. I've managed to find all the verses, even those not commonly found in hymnals.

Jesus loves me this I know

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Jesus loves me this I know
As He loved so long ago
Taking children on His knee
Saying, "Let them come to me!"

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

Jesus loves me! Loves me still
Though I'm very weak and ill
That I might from sin be free
Bled and died upon that tree

Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven's gate to open wide
He will wash away my sins
Let His little child come in

Jesus love me! He wil stay
Close beside me all the way
Thou hast bled and died for me
I will henceforth live for Thee

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

I think as a leader, I always complicated matters. Doesn't help that I study a very complicated subject. But I think as Christians, we also complicate matters. But our faith is simple to grasp.

Jesus loves us. He bled and died for us. And He rose from the grave, and one day, He will come back to rule!

That's the simple truth of it all.
