I rewrote the music and added a new chorus
cso christian music
Story behind the song
I had written the chorus to this song first, but felt uninspired to write verses. Then the CSO board challenged me to rewrite an old hymn and add a chorus. What a perfect fit!
Lyrics
Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
When they are weak, He is strong.
chorus:
It's not the head of the household, but the child who is weak
It's not the man of authority, but the man who is meek
It's not the master of his destiny, but the lowest of slaves
These are the greatest in the Kingdom
These are the greatest in the Kingdom of God
Jesus loves me! This I know,
Just like He loved so long ago,
He took children on His knee,
He said, “Let them come to Me.”
(chorus)
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
(chorus
