Jesus Loves Me, This I Know - sung by Jack Marti

This is not the traditional Jesus Loves Me, but a newer arrangement. A different song, really, with some of the same words. I learned it in the early eighties when I was the song leader for a youth group in Garland, Texas. I don't know who wrote it, so I don't know who to give credit to. If anyone knows, please tell me!

Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
Belong, belong.

Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in the good Lord's sight.
Jesus loves them all I know,
I know, I know.

Jesus loves me when I'm good,
When I do the things I should.
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
Though it makes Him sad,
I know, I know, I know.

Jesus teach me to love.
Make me harmless as a dove.
Jesus teach me to love,
The way You love,
The way You love.

lol. cool guitar man.

stick to the original tune though.

[guitmartiman]

Well, I'll tell you what I learned in the radio business. People don't know what they like. They like what they know.

[donvito4221]

aaaalrighty then. i said good music.

[guitmartiman]

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound offensive or even defensive. I was just stating a truism. I like the original melody too, but I think this one also has something to offer. I may do the original melody one of these days, perhaps on the uke.

I've never heard this arrangement before, it's nice. Do you know the one that's the same original tune but in 3/4 time--and then they use "Oh how he loves you and me" as the chorus? I forget who arranged it...we used to do it sometimes in a group I was in as a young adult. I'd love to hear you do that one!
