The Picture and the Song
Jesus loves me
this I know
If you read the Bible
Old testament and new
All the stories point to Jesus
Test it, challenge it
Seek and ye shall find tis true
For the Bible tells me so
I met Jesus as a little girl
Seeing a picture of Jesus
knocking at a door asking to come in
the door to my heart
For me, it is where Jesus and I begin
Little ones to Him belong
My mom faithfully took us to church
I sang in the choir
I thought I was pretty good
As life went on I discovered my heart
was deceitful and I was a liar
We are weak
No not the kind of lies to deceive my brother
It was a lie to myself
I was righteous and better than some others
We are weak
I didn't kill, rarely cussed and did not steal
Trouble came when I knew Jesus
but didn't let Him lead
Stubborn was my will
My way led to misery
Tears and sadness my way made me feel
But He is strong
The day came I did realize
Jesus was always there
Exposing my heart, allowing me to see
My lack of forgiveness, love, and pride
It wasn't a pretty picture
I must confide
Yes Jesus Loves Me
The picture of Jesus is still hanging on my wall
knocking at the door of my heart
asking to come in
The door is opened wide, come in Lord cleanse and stay
You saw all my ugliness and loved me anyway
The Bible Tells Me So
