~I Am So Glad That Jesus Loves Me

       Dr. P.P. Bliss, the evangelistic singer and composer, said that he wrote the sacred song, “I am So Glad that Jesus Loves Me,” when he was a young man.

       Growing older, however, he realized more deeply how insignificant is our love toward God compared to His love for us.

       Hence, in his later years, he wrote that appealing hymn, which children so love to sing—and which is good for grownups too:

I am so glad that our Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the Book He has given;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see,

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Jesus Loves Even Me

(1) I am so glad that my Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the Book He has given;

Wonderful things in the Bible I see-

This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

CHORUS:

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me;

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,

Jesus loves even me.

(2) Though I forget Him and wander away,

Still Jesus loves me wherever I stray;

Back to His dear loving arms I would flee,

When I remember that Jesus loves me.

(3) O if there's only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,

This shall my song in eternity be:

"O, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!"
