JESUS LOVES ME (Senior Version)
Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow,
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him. (CHORUS)
Though my steps are getting slow,
With my hand in His I’ll go.
On through life, let come what may,
He will lead me all the way. (CHORUS)
Though I am no longer young,
My last song is still unsung.
Always serving with a smile,
On with Him the “extra mile”. (CHORUS)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song,
Telling me in words so clear,
“Have no fear, for I am near.” (CHORUS)
When my work on earth is done,
And my battles here are won,
By His grace and matchless love,
I’ll be home with Him above.
CHORUS:
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so!
