Verse 1
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the nail prints tell me so
Innocent, yet torn and tried
Then they pierced Him in His side
For my sin He bled and died
Jesus loves me, this I know
Verse 2
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the dark tomb tells me so
There they laid His body down
Songs of mourners echoed ‘round
King of kings without a crown
Jesus loves me, this I know
Verse 3
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the bare tomb tells me so
To the grave His foll’wers fled
He is risen as He said
Do not look here for the dead
Jesus loves me, this I know
Verse 4
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the throne room tells me so
He is reigning as the Lamb
Holding all with nail-pierced hands
Lord and King, the Great I AM
Jesus loves me, this I know
