歌曲歌词

Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

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

Oh* yes Jesus loves me

Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

Pressing on the up away

Always guide me Lord I pray

Undeserving* and stubbornly never fail to love me still

Yes Jesus loves me

Oh yes Jesus loves me

Oh yes Jesus loves me* for the Bible tells me so

Yes Jesus loves me* love

Oh yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

For the Bible tells me so

so good to

See* sometimes I*m lonely but never alone
