Lyrics

Verse 1
I am so glad that our Fa­ther in Heav’n
Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n; (II Tim. 3:16)
Wonderful things in the Bi­ble I see,
This is the dear­est, that Je­sus loves me. (John 13:1, Gal. 2:20, I John 4:9-10, I John 4:19)

Chorus
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. (John 13:1, Gal. 2:20, I John 4:9-10, I John 4:19)

Verse 2
Though I forget Him, and wan­der away,
Still He doth love me wher­ev­er I stray; (Isa. 53:6, I Pet. 2:25, Matt. 18:12-13, Luke 15:4-7)
Back to His dear lov­ing arms I do flee, (Luke 15:20)
When I re­mem­ber that Je­sus loves me.

Verse 3
Oh, if there’s on­ly one song I can sing,
When in His beau­ty I see the great King, (Isa. 33:17)
This shall my song through eter­ni­ty be,
Oh, what a won­der that Je­sus loves me! (Eph. 3:18-19)

Verse 4
Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him; (I John 4:19)
Love brought Him down my poor soul to re­deem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree; (I John 4:9-10)
Oh, I am certain that Je­sus loves me!

Verse 5
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, (Rom. 8:16, I John 5:6-10)
Constantly wit­ness­ing Je­sus loves me.

Verse 6
In this as­sur­ance I find sweet­est rest,
Trusting in Je­sus, I know I am blessed;
Satan, dis­mayed, from my soul now doth flee, (James 4:7)
When I just tell him that Je­sus loves me.
