Redemption Songs ‎#91

91. Jesus Loves Me

1 Jesus loves me, I’m his child,
Though by nature sin-defiled;
Yet he washed me, made me clean,
Dwells himself my heart within.

Refrain:
Jesus loves me, praise his name,
I am cleansed from ev’ry stain;
I have plunged beneath the flood,
I’m redeemed thro’ Jesus’ blood.

2 Jesus all my grief doth know,
Measures well my cup of woe;
Knows, for he the path hath trod,
Bore for me the wrath of God. [Refrain]

3 Jesus will not send a pain
Which to me shall not be gain;
Nor in anger deal the blow;
Strength to bear it will bestow. [Refrain]

4 Jesus soon will call me home;
There no pain nor grief can come;
Then on Canaan’s peaceful shore
I shall praise him evermore. [Refrain]
