The Love Of Jesus
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so
Now I know where I belong, I am weak but He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so
I want to tell you all about the love of Jesus
And the sacrifice He made for you and me
And when I tell you all about the love of Jesus
You will understand the cross on Calvary
I was born into this world of woe in 1951
And I grew up in a small town, I recall
The day my heart was broken, by the wrongs that I had done
And I did not see the writing on the wall
I thought that I was on the road to glory
Seeking things that brought me pleasure, wealth and fame
And I did not want to hear the old old story
That would one day set me free from all my pain
I lived my life in vain for my ambitions
Neglecting those that God had given me
And I grew to love the world and its traditions
And I was full of pride and just too blind to see
That I was on the road that led to self destruction
Addicted to the lies that Satan told
And for over twenty years, through the heartache and the tears
I thought that I would lose my very soul
I want to tell you all about the love of Jesus
And the sacrifice He made for you and me
And when I tell you all about the love of Jesus
You will understand the cross on Calvary
Then one day I thought my life was over
For I could not bear the pain I felt inside
And I knew I was to blame, for all my guilt and shame
And I knew that Satan wanted me destroyed
The emptiness I felt was overwhelming
And I wanted desperately to make amends
And little did I know, that Jesus loves me so
And I did not know that He would be my friend
With a heavy heart I thought about my family
And with trembling hands I got down on my knees
And I asked the LORD in heaven, if I could be forgiven
And this is what my Saviour said to me
I still bear the scars of shame for your transgressions son
And for those like you I came to Calvary
Where I suffered and I died, when I was crucified
To pay the price for your iniquity
I want to tell you all about the love of Jesus
And the sacrifice He made for you and me
And when I tell you all about the love of Jesus
You will understand the cross on Calvary
It's been over thirty years, since Yahovah heard my prayers
And led me to the cross on Calvary
Where my Saviour shed His blood, to show that God is love
He took my sins and nailed them to that tree
I want to tell you all about the love of Jesus
And the sacrifice He made for you and me
And when I tell you all about the love of Jesus
You will understand the cross on Calvary
When I tell you all about the love of Jesus
You will understand the cross on Calvary
