My Jesus I Love Thee
My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I'll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I John 4 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the love of God and the expression of God’s love through His Son, Jesus. The sacrifice Jesus made gives us the right to have eternal life. There is no greater love than this. What we can do, with this wonderful gift of love, is to share it with others.
The light of love between families, friends, and beyond makes
the world a little brighter, and a little more peaceful.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3) read I John 4:6-15. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing all verses together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
