1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Jesus loved us when we were unlovely.
He is worthy of all of our love, all of our devotion, all of our service.
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 Savior 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, 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 loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
William R. Featherston 1884
