                                                                     Anna B. Warner

          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.

 

          Chorus

          Yes, Jesus loves me!

          Yes, Jesus loves me!

          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.

 

          3.

          Jesus loves me! He will stay

          Close beside me all the way

          Then His little child will take

          Up to heaven, for His dear sake.

 

Questions.

“Jesus Loves Me”. Is there a Bible verse that actually says this? See 1 John 3:16, Romans 8:37-39, John 13:1 and Revelation 1:4-6.
The song has a lot to say about children and His love for them. What does the Bible teach about this subject? See Matthew 18:1-10, 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16 and Hebrews 1:13-14.
Verse 2 gives a reason why Jesus died. How do the two parts (entering heaven and washing away sin) fit together? See Psalm 51:1-2, Hebrews 9:14-15 and Revelation 22:14.
A critical issue which needs to be examined here is this: What happens to the souls of children who die before they are old enough to make a personal decision to follow Christ? What do members of the group believe about this? Is there Scriptural support for these beliefs?
See 2 Samuel 12:18-23, 1 Corinthians 7:14, Romans 5:12-14, John 3:3-5 and Hebrews 11:6.

Song Study 14: Jesus Lover of My Soul

SONG STUDY (14)  JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL This song was written by  Charles Wesley  in 1740 soon after his conversion. It has been sung to many tunes and in turn has been the inspiration of other great songs. 1 Jesus lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4  P lenteous grace with Thee is found; Grace to cover all my sin; Let the h

Song Study 12: Meekness and Majesty

Song Study (12) MEEKNESS AND MAJESTY This is a modern hymn by Graham Kendrick (UK), written in 1986. Like the earlier hymns we have examined, it is based on Scripture and contains some difficult words. The message of the song is “ When God became man in the form of Jesus he came as a servant. This is what he expects of us too. ” Rather than a series of questions, let’s look at a series of “key Scriptures” to help us understand what this means and how we are to respond to God’s grace.  Meekness and Majesty:  Meekness And Majesty - Graham Kendrick Lyric Video - YouTube                                Meekness and majesty, Manhood and Deity, In perfect harmony, The Man who is God. Lord of eternity Dwells in humanity, Kneels in humility And washes our feet.      O what a mystery, Meekness and majesty. Bow down and worship For this is your God, This is your God. Father’s pure radiance, Perfect in innocence, Yet learns obedience To death on a cross. Su
