A very good friend of mine sent this to me, she is a dear Christian sister in the Lord.
The written entry into her email was on how interesting it is that we as older adults sing this song loudly, because we know it, and we often choose it as the first song to teach our children as we learned it. Well here is a version by an unknown writer for us "old folks"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JESUS LOVES ME
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.
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.... YES, JESUS LOVES ME...
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
YES, JESUS LOVES ME... YES, JESUS LOVES ME....
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though I am no longer young,
I have much which He's begun.
Let me serve Christ with a smile,
Go with others the extra mile.
YES, JESUS LOVES ME... YES, JESUS LOVES ME...
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
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.'
YES, JESUS LOVES ME... YES, JESUS LOVES ME...
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love
YES, JESUS LOVES ME... YES, JESUS LOVES ME....
YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO
I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
