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, 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 loves me, loves me still,
When I’m very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie. [Refrain]
4 Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high. [Refrain]

@earlysda I don't think so, God can't bless error I hope he converts to the Catholic Church before he dies so that the last rites can be performed while on his death bed. But unless he converts, then there is very little hope for him and for anyone else who is in the same circumstance.

[@earlysda]

@@peterxuereb9884 peter, let's be clear about this. The Roman Catholic Church is the Great Harlot spoken of in Revelation 18. She fits all the descriptions given there. . Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. . The RCC claims to have authority above the Holy Bible. That's why it claims to have changed God's holy 7th day Sabbath to Sunday, just as prophesied in Daniel 7:25. . Please heed the angel's call in Revelation 18:4, and come out now!

Thanks for sharing. Can relate as evidenced by the following sentences delineating how we use music to deal with pain by stirring up faith. The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

@lorrainewhitehead9080 I believe what the Apostles believed and what the Apostles were taught and instructed by Jesus, and what the Apostles were taught inspired and instructed, became the Catholic Church that started with the Apostles. The Doctrines Dogmas of the Catholic Church came from the Apostles and were told to them by Jesus. You can not say the same Lorraine. So whatever mumbo jumbo you decide to spin won't work because you or any other non-Catholic have no Authority as Jesus gave to the Apostles, which became the Catholic Church.

It has gotten me through very very dark days. God did that for me. God is good.

When I was 7-10 I spent a lot of time with my Aunt Cynthia, 3 of her seven children were in my age range. That is one of the many songs I learned from them. We would sing christian songs as we swang or the swing set. My husband and I got saved and became born again Christians in the fall of 1972, in 1983-84 we were doing S.S. bus ministry on a Nazarene church on Hebron, Ohio. A young man we picked up every Sunday a.m., one young boy, 8-9, Webb was his last name. Told me he made up these words to go with the song, " Jesus loves me when I'm good and do the things I should, Jesus loves me when I'm bad, but it makes Him very sad." Since then I have taught it to a lot of children over the years!! I hope this isn't to long and blesses someone. I am now 78, I know Jesus loves me and I love and serve Him.Thornville, Ohio thanks for sharing.12:49

This was the first solo performance my lil daughter gave. She was so tiny, the mike (on the stand) had to be bent so low it literally hit the floor. So that no sooner had she sung out the first line 'Jesus loves me this I know', than the mike would collapse, stand and all. Someone would rush to the stage and re-set the mike on its stand only to have the same thing repeat all over again. This went on for a few more times until my daughter decided she'd had enough and let out a big bawl instead....!

Blessing from Namibia, i learned this song when i was small, cannot remember where, but through the years it became very prominent in our lives. I used to sing it to my children when they were small and when my daughter lost some of her fingers in a accident, i sang it to her on the way to hospital, later that day friends came to pray and God did a miracle in saving most of her fingers, years later we adopted a little boy with multiple congenital disorders, his treatments were extremely painful and i would sing this song to him through it, and he was greatly comforted by it. Even later i started teaching at a school with special need children and there were two children with hearing impairment, i learned Namibian sign language and started teaching them, as they to that day did not have their own language to communicate, i taught them Jesus love me in sign language and they loved it, later we had more deaf children and also taught them how to sign it, it is a precious song, never knew the history behind it, also only the first verse. It is such a blessing, thank you so much, may you be blessed.

But unless they do what Jesus has asked everyone to do, which is in John ch 6. then nobody is saved, and no amount of jumping up and down will help. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate manna in the desert and they are dead; 50 but this is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.' 52 Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' 53 Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person. 57 As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, whoever eats me will also draw life from me. 58 This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever. 59 This is what he taught at Capernaum in the synagogue. 60 After hearing it, many of his followers said, 'This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?' 61 Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, 'Does this disturb you? 62 What if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before? 63 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. 64 'But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was to betray him. 65 He went on, 'This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.' 66 After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.

📩Brothers and sisters, I want to inform you that now is the beginning of the last age of (which He called the Age of the Kingdom or age of word) God's salvation in this old world and His work now is to purify the person who will receive His work that in His lowered Kingdom engraved with His holy name and totality of His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 the work He accomplished today is what He prophesied in the great book of Revelation so now is the beginning to be sorted out by Him every type of humanity (the ones He can purify until his last breath is the one who succeeds so that he can enter the approaching New Heaven and New Earth after this 1,000 years extension of God's salvation from now on this old and dirty world, or those who cannot be purified will be destroyed together with this old world, or the one who will be with Satan in eternal punishment in the bottom of Hades of fire brimstone forever). 📩 So, come and enter the last age in His lowered Kingdom. THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" Almighty God said In the LAST DAYS, GOD became MAN to DO the WORK He HAD to DO and to PERFORM His MINISTRY of the WORD. He PERSONALLY CAME to WORK in the MIDST of PEOPLE with the goal of making PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAD the SAME ATTITUDE. 🙏 From the time of creation until now, He has only performed this kind of work in the LAST DAYS. It was only in the LAST DAYS that GOD BECAME MAN to DO such a great WORK. Although He endured hardships that men would find it hard to bear, and although He was a GREAT GOD who HUMBLED HIMSELF to become a common man, no aspect of His WORK was delayed, and His PLAN was not disrupted. even a little. He does the WORK according to His ORIGINAL PLAN. ☀️ ONE of the PURPOSES of this INCARNATION is to CONQUER PEOPLE, the OTHER is to MAKE PERFECT the PEOPLE He LOVES. He WANTS to SEE with His OWN EYES the PEOPLE He PERFECTS, and He wants to SEE for HIMSELF HOW the PEOPLE He PERFECTS TESTIFY for Him. NOT ONE or TWO PEOPLE are PERFECT. Rather, it is ONE GROUP, COMPRISED of just a FEW PEOPLE. ☀️🙏 PEOPLE in this GROUP COME from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES in the WORLD, and COME from DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES in the WORLD. The PURPOSE of DOING so much WORK is to GET this GROUP of PEOPLE, to GET the TESTIMONY of this GROUP OF PEOPLE to Him, and to ACHIEVE the GLORY He can GET from them. He does no work in vain, nor does He do any work worthless. It can be said that, in doing so many works, GOD'S PURPOSE is to make PERFECT EVERYTHING He WANTS to make PERFECT. In any free time He has outside of it, He will remove those who are evil. ☀️ You must know that He does not do this great work because of the wicked; rather, He gives His all because of the few people He will make perfect. The WORK He DOES, the WORDS He SPEAKS, the MYSTERIES He REVEALS, and His JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT are ALL for the sane of those FEW PEOPLE. 🙏 He did NOT become a MAN because of those who were BAD, and especially they did NOT provoke Him to anger so much. He tells the TRUTH, and SPEAKS of ENTERING, because of PERFECT WORKS; He became MAN because of them, and because of them He could grant His PROMISES and BLESSINGS. ☀️ The truth, entrance, and life in humanity that He speaks of is not labored for the sake of the wicked. He WANTS to AVOID TALKING to those who are BAD, INSTEAD He WANTS to GRANT all the TRUTH to those who will be made PERFECT. But His work requires that, for the time being, He allows the WICKED to ENJOY some of His RICHES. Those who do not practice the truth, do not please God, and interfere with His work are all evil. They CANNOT BE MADE PERFECT, and GOD HATES and REJECTS them. 😪 On the other hand, PEOPLE WHO DO the TRUTH and PLEASE GOD and SPEND their WHOLE SELF in GOD'S WORK are the PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE PERFECT. 🙏 Those whom GOD wants to make PERFECT are none other than this GROUP of PEOPLE, and the WORK GOD DOES is for the BENEFIT of these PEOPLE. The truth He speaks is for those who are WILLING to DO it. He does not speak to people who do not practice the truth. ☀️ The growth of knowledge and the growth of understanding that He says is aimed at those who can practice the truth. When He speaks of those who will be made perfect, He is speaking of these people. The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is FOCUSED on PEOPLE who CAN do the TRUTH. 🙏 Things like having wisdom and being human are dedicated to people who are WILLING to DO the TRUTH. Those who DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH may HEAR MANY WORDS of TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE they are by NATURE VERY EVIL and are NOT INTERESTED in the TRUTH, all they understand are doctrines and words and empty theories, which have not the slightest value for upon their entry into life. Not ONE of THEM is FAITHFUL to GOD; they are ALL PEOPLE WHO SEE GOD BUT CANNOT REACH Him, ALL of THEM are CURSED by GOD. 😪🙏 From "Only Those Who Commit to Practice Make Perfection" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God." (Rev. 19:13) The kingdom He brought down and built in the worthy holy place in the highest in the sky and when all the humanity He created in the universe was occupied by it and it was engraved in His holy name and owned by His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 this is the fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) The Lord Jesus said, "And I say to you, Peter, on top of this eunuch I will build my Church, which will not prevail against him even the fear of death.". ... and fulfillment of "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... and fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem"💫 "The Spirit covered me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 21:10). ... "For the time has come in the matter of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17) 📩 God's sheep are called and led to His glorious Throne in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 to submit again to His authority so that He can continue to teach us, guide us and protect us even in plagues, disasters, famines and wild animals It will not move us, and to completely win the war with the big red dragon in this final battle!. ...

I sing Jesus Loves me when I’m having a MRI or having a procedure where I know I’m going to be uncomfortable.I even remember saying, under anesthesia, and He loves you too! When my mom was in the hospital with cancer, she had to have blood drawn, we started singing Jesus Loves Me . I stopped after the first verse but she kept on singing. I never knew there where more verses. We sang it at her funeral and now I know all verses.

The Missionary Baptist Church is near to my heart.❤ As the mother of 4 biracial children, I often felt unwanted or unwelcome at several churches I had visited. At one church, there was a woman who just couldn't keep her eyes off of us. She must've had quite the sore neck after church, because she was right up front in the first few rows, and we were at the very back, in the last row!😂 She spent most of the sermon with her eyes locked on us. Needless to say, we didn't go back. But when I visited St. Matthew's Missionary Baptist Church on 30th & Jackson in Seattle, I found a home. I moved from the city, but my time there was special. Props to Minister Anderson & Minister Pierce.

[@damariskamau7399]

Thank God for the song..my mother sang for me in the 50s. I sang it in Sunday school, taught it to my Sunday school students in the Anglican Church and Presbyterian Church. I sang for my children, who in turn sang for their children. I have sung it for my granddaughters. Right now, I'm singing it for my 9month-old grandson. It calms him down. I'm from Nairobi, Kenya.

[@394doger]

When I was a child I tried to sing this song in church at Beulah Baptist Church Pembroke Ga. I was about five and was so nervous, I could not sing it. I am now a missionary and have sung and preached in many different places in the USA and Mexico. It goes to show you that even though as a child we are weak or nervous as a child, that God can use you with his hand on you.

I read of a minister who the Lord sent to the place in a mental asylum where the worst cases were kept. The Lord told the minister to just sing the song 'Jesus loves me...' to the patients every time he visits. He patiently obeyed although the patients just ignored him, but as he persevered, some patients started singing the song with him... until eventually all the patients were discharged and declared healed.

This song has had such a profound effect on my life. Such a simple, but full of doctrine and truth is sung in this precious song. I cannot fully understand His great love for me and for His glory. "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."

"Jesus Loves Me" was first published in the hymnal Bradbury's Golden Shower of S.S.

Bradbury wrote the music for several hymns including "The Solid Rock" (1863) and "He Leadeth Me" (1864). These--and "Jesus Loves Me--remain in our Methodist hymnal today.

📩Brothers and sisters, I want to inform you that now is the beginning of the last age of (which He called the Age of the Kingdom or age of word) God's salvation in this old world and His work now is to purify the person who will receive His work that in His lowered Kingdom engraved with His holy name and totality of His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 the work He accomplished today is what He prophesied in the great book of Revelation so now is the beginning to be sorted out by Him every type of humanity (the ones He can purify until his last breath is the one who succeeds so that he can enter the approaching New Heaven and New Earth after this 1,000 years extension of God's salvation from now on this old and dirty world, or those who cannot be purified will be destroyed together with this old world, or the one who will be with Satan in eternal punishment in the bottom of Hades of fire brimstone forever). 📩 So, come and enter the last age in His lowered Kingdom. THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" Almighty God said In the LAST DAYS, GOD became MAN to DO the WORK He HAD to DO and to PERFORM His MINISTRY of the WORD. He PERSONALLY CAME to WORK in the MIDST of PEOPLE with the goal of making PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAD the SAME ATTITUDE. 🙏 From the time of creation until now, He has only performed this kind of work in the LAST DAYS. It was only in the LAST DAYS that GOD BECAME MAN to DO such a great WORK. Although He endured hardships that men would find it hard to bear, and although He was a GREAT GOD who HUMBLED HIMSELF to become a common man, no aspect of His WORK was delayed, and His PLAN was not disrupted. even a little. He does the WORK according to His ORIGINAL PLAN. ☀️ ONE of the PURPOSES of this INCARNATION is to CONQUER PEOPLE, the OTHER is to MAKE PERFECT the PEOPLE He LOVES. He WANTS to SEE with His OWN EYES the PEOPLE He PERFECTS, and He wants to SEE for HIMSELF HOW the PEOPLE He PERFECTS TESTIFY for Him. NOT ONE or TWO PEOPLE are PERFECT. Rather, it is ONE GROUP, COMPRISED of just a FEW PEOPLE. ☀️🙏 PEOPLE in this GROUP COME from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES in the WORLD, and COME from DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES in the WORLD. The PURPOSE of DOING so much WORK is to GET this GROUP of PEOPLE, to GET the TESTIMONY of this GROUP OF PEOPLE to Him, and to ACHIEVE the GLORY He can GET from them. He does no work in vain, nor does He do any work worthless. It can be said that, in doing so many works, GOD'S PURPOSE is to make PERFECT EVERYTHING He WANTS to make PERFECT. In any free time He has outside of it, He will remove those who are evil. ☀️ You must know that He does not do this great work because of the wicked; rather, He gives His all because of the few people He will make perfect. The WORK He DOES, the WORDS He SPEAKS, the MYSTERIES He REVEALS, and His JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT are ALL for the sane of those FEW PEOPLE. 🙏 He did NOT become a MAN because of those who were BAD, and especially they did NOT provoke Him to anger so much. He tells the TRUTH, and SPEAKS of ENTERING, because of PERFECT WORKS; He became MAN because of them, and because of them He could grant His PROMISES and BLESSINGS. ☀️ The truth, entrance, and life in humanity that He speaks of is not labored for the sake of the wicked. He WANTS to AVOID TALKING to those who are BAD, INSTEAD He WANTS to GRANT all the TRUTH to those who will be made PERFECT. But His work requires that, for the time being, He allows the WICKED to ENJOY some of His RICHES. Those who do not practice the truth, do not please God, and interfere with His work are all evil. They CANNOT BE MADE PERFECT, and GOD HATES and REJECTS them. 😪 On the other hand, PEOPLE WHO DO the TRUTH and PLEASE GOD and SPEND their WHOLE SELF in GOD'S WORK are the PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE PERFECT. 🙏 Those whom GOD wants to make PERFECT are none other than this GROUP of PEOPLE, and the WORK GOD DOES is for the BENEFIT of these PEOPLE. The truth He speaks is for those who are WILLING to DO it. He does not speak to people who do not practice the truth. ☀️ The growth of knowledge and the growth of understanding that He says is aimed at those who can practice the truth. When He speaks of those who will be made perfect, He is speaking of these people. The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is FOCUSED on PEOPLE who CAN do the TRUTH. 🙏 Things like having wisdom and being human are dedicated to people who are WILLING to DO the TRUTH. Those who DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH may HEAR MANY WORDS of TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE they are by NATURE VERY EVIL and are NOT INTERESTED in the TRUTH, all they understand are doctrines and words and empty theories, which have not the slightest value for upon their entry into life. Not ONE of THEM is FAITHFUL to GOD; they are ALL PEOPLE WHO SEE GOD BUT CANNOT REACH Him, ALL of THEM are CURSED by GOD. 😪🙏 From "Only Those Who Commit to Practice Make Perfection" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God." (Rev. 19:13) The kingdom He brought down and built in the worthy holy place in the highest in the sky and when all the humanity He created in the universe was occupied by it and it was engraved in His holy name and owned by His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 this is the fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) The Lord Jesus said, "And I say to you, Peter, on top of this eunuch I will build my Church, which will not prevail against him even the fear of death.". ... and fulfillment of "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... and fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem"💫 "The Spirit covered me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 21:10). ... "For the time has come in the matter of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17) 📩 God's sheep are called and led to His glorious Throne in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 to submit again to His authority so that He can continue to teach us, guide us and protect us even in plagues, disasters, famines and wild animals It will not move us, and to completely win the war with the big red dragon in this final battle!. ... The fulfillment of "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... Fulfillment that it will be built in the highest of the sky that in our Millennial generation that is KZbin in (Isaiah 2:2 / 9:6) "In the last day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains.

In a writers group we were asked to write on what music has had the greatest impact in our lives? I wrote the verses and chorus, and of how this song touched me deep within from childhood right through life. Well, the leader was angry and ridiculed me for writing the song out, as she wanted a beautiful piece of music. I said “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so” is the most beautiful music and most the most precious words I have known and stored in my heart and it still affects my life.” I was not ashamed.

Thank you for sharing this 'ever new' song which is the very backbone of Christianity. This is the Gospel and whether people are just saved, old or little toddlers, God speaks through it. I have sung these truths for nearly 60yrs and just yesterday I sang "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" during my physical pain; Jesus is real and He died to save us, whom He created. If there is someone out there who is lonely, lost or physically suffering, I urge you to talk to our Lord and Saviour about it. He is waiting for you to "call upon and He will answer you" ! There are so many comments by people over 60yrs and I really think parents and grandparents, like me, should share these Gospel songs to toddlers while we still have breath in our lungs.
