My Jesus I Love Thee

The love of God is the greatest thing God ever did for any of us. 

Because He loved us, He was moved to do everything else that He has done. 

Man can never reach a place when he will not be loved by God. 

God loved us first, He loved us anyway and He loves us eternally.

1 John 4:9-10  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 

[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.

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 Saviour 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 and I will love Thee in death;   —   And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath.   —   And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow;   —   If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.

“In mansions of glory and endless delight,   —   I’ll ever adore Thee in Heaven so bright;   —   I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow.   —   If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.”
