"Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong
Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so."
These simple but profound words have been heard in almost every language of the world. This is the song Jesus loves me. I was going through some hard times lately I wondered does God really care? Then the next thing I knew I heard the song Jesus Loves Me. Lately I've been thinking about what kind of big things might God have in store for me? I really don't do anything our culture considers important, I don't sing, I really don't talk in front of large groups. I work mostly behind the scenes, however I would not change that. Teaching a Bible study that no one really hears about gets no praise, and nether does helping clean up, but that is where I find the most joy in doing the little things for Jesus.
The story behind the song Jesus Loves Me
The song Jesus Loves Me was written by Anna Warner who helped out with her uncles Bible study in Constitution Island, New York, 1860. She originally wrote the song to place in her book Say and Seal it's a story about a little boy in the story the boy is sick his Sunday school teacher comes to visit him and sings to him the song Jesus Loves Me. The tune of Jesus Loves Me was added in 1862 by William Batchelder Bradbury, he also added the chorus "Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me..." For a song so simple it has changed millions of lives.
