The Everlasting Love Revealed in Jesus Christ
Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so”—carries a depth that reaches far beyond childhood memory. It echoes one of the most profound truths revealed in the King James Bible: the steadfast, personal, and redeeming love of God through Jesus Christ. In a world of shifting emotions and subjective "truths," the phrase "the Bible tells me so" is an anchor. It moves the love of God from the realm of feeling to the realm of fact.
- Jesus did not leave us to guess His heart. He said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"
From the opening pages of Scripture to its final promises, the love of God is not merely described, it is demonstrated. In Genesis, humanity is formed by God’s own hand, made in His image. Even after the fall, when sin entered the world, God did not abandon His creation. Instead, He began unfolding a plan of redemption.
The object of that love
“Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong.”
The Bible portrays God’s love as tender toward the helpless and humble. Jesus welcomes children, identifies with the lowly, and promises provision for the weakest of His flock. The imagery of “little ones” underscores dependence: love offered to those who cannot repay it.
The Paradox: The Apostle Paul captured this perfectly, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."
The Result: When you are "weak,” you stop trying to manufacture your own salvation and start leaning on the "Everlasting Arms". His strength isn't just added to yours; it replaces yours.
You may think that as you grow older, you should "outgrow" the simple faith of a child. You may think you need complex systems, deeper philosophies, and more sophisticated ways to reach God. But the older you get, the more you should realize that the world is too big and your strength is too small.
The emotional impact of "Jesus Loves Me" isn't just found in its simplicity, but also in its safety.
It is the realization that the God who stretched out the heavens and called the stars by name can be touched by the feeling of your infirmities. He knows the "dust" you are made of (Psalm 103:14), and He isn't disappointed by your weakness—He is moved by it.
The love of God, the same yesterday, Today and forever
As you reflect on the love of God, you should be drawn to the person of Jesus Christ, who embodied this love in His ministry, His sacrifice, and His resurrection. The Bible declares that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" and that His love for you remains unchanging.
Jesus loves me.
Not because you are strong, but because He is.
Not because you deserve it, but because He is love.
Not because you understand it, but because He declared it eternally.
The Bible tells you so—not in whispers, but in the thunder of the cross, followed by His triumphant resurrection and confirmed by the Spirit of Promise.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
When you are weary, He is your rest.
When you are lost, He is your Shepherd.
When you are broken, He is your Redeemer.
When you are weak, He is strong.
And in the quiet certainty of that truth, your soul finds its anchor. The King of Glory knows your name. The Savior of the world chose the cross. The risen Christ intercedes still.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves you.
Not with a passing affection, but with an everlasting, unshakable, redeeming love…because the bible tell me so.
