Jesus Loves Me

Many years ago, while watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a Church in Atlanta honoring one of its senior
pastors who had been retired many years.

He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the Church even bothered to ask the old gentleman  to preach at that age.  After a warm welcome,
introduction of this speaker, and as the applause quieted down he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a
sliding gate to the podium.  Without a note or written paper of any kind, he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then
quietly and slowly he began to speak.

"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your pastor asked me to tell you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 50 odd
years of preaching.  I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and
sustained me through all my trials.  The one thing that I could always rely on when tears and heart break and pain and fear and sorrow
paralyzed me......the only thing that would comfort was this verse.

 "Jesus loves me this I know.
   For the Bible tells me so.
  Little ones to him belong,
  We are weak but he is strong.....
  Yes, Jesus loves me...
  The Bible tells me so."

When he finished, the church was quiet.  You actually could hear his foot steps as he shuffled back to his chair.  I don't believe I will
ever forget it.

A pastor once stated,  "I always noticed that its was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of
course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."

Senior version of Jesus Loves Me

Here is a new version just for us who have white hair, or no hair at all.  For us over middle age (or even those almost there) and all you
others, check out this newest version of  "Jesus Loves Me".  It is quite good, so read, sing and enjoy:"

  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.



               (CHORUS)

  YES, JESUS LOVES ME
  YES, JESUS LOVES ME
  YES, JESUS LOVES ME
  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.

                 (CHORUS)

  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.


                  (CHORUS)

  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."

               (CHORUS)

  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

               (CHORUS)

  I love Jesus, does He know?
  Have I ever told Him so?
  Jesus loves to hear me say,
  That I love Him every day.
