Jesus Loves Me
[Chorus 1:]
Jesus loves me this I know,
For the Bible tells me so,
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong,
[Verse 1:]
I remember singing Jesus Loves Me at an early age,
I was raised in church since baby words I learned to say,
Christ loves the little children,
Repeatedly in my mind,
Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in His sight,
But I didn't feel so precious on that day I got molested,
In fact I felt more rejected,
Neglected from His protection,
And all these questions started forming in my mind,
Am I gay?
Am I straight?
'Cause it continued,
Often I felt ugly trapped and so ashamed,
I never told a soul,
Because I feared I'd take the blame,
Nobody would ever know,
It was my secret, my pain,
My hurt, my shame,
I couldn't let it out,
If I did they'd surely call me gay,
And I remember when they did,
At the mall that day,
I broke down in tears and simply walked away,
'Cause I remember all those times that other boy had touched me,
And I started wondering if Jesus really loved me
[Chorus 2:]
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so,
[Verse 2:]
To add to all that mess,
Life at home became a stress,
My parents fought more and more,
Divorce was what I read,
But they said that they never would,
The Bible said that it was wrong,
So I had hope the Bible would keep them focused to push along,
But eventually, the walls of marriage fell,
Leaving me and my sister exposed to all this hell,
Not to mention my older sister who saw another glimpse,
That maybe the Bible couldn't help you when you tripped,
I was ticked and I was would curse at God,
My family stripped amidst the storm,
My pictures ripped, memories gone,
I shook my fists, looked up to God and said,
I don't believe in You, You can't be real,
What is this trash?
Molested, I'm abused, my family too?
And now my Mom and Dad?
All this pain is bottled up inside,
I see the rain, but where's the sun?
All I see is clouds, and I can't go on,
But I'm a make it through,
And I said to God,
I'm gonna do it without You
[Chorus 3:]
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so,
[Verse 3:]
Alone, that's how I felt,
Handling my problems by myself,
I didn't need God or so I thought,
But now I felt so empty,
Indulging in the things they said would help me,
Money, sex, and the party life,
That's how I lived,
Education didn't even help with my brokenness,
I kept on being broken with the same pain,
Same strain, running on one leg,
Kept getting the same sprain,
Crippled, looking at a glass lake,
Seeing my reflection in the ripples of the wake,
I was lost and confused, still bottling my pain,
Took that bottle to my brain,
Trying to make it go away,
But I couldn't, I could never escape,
I realized inside only death was my fate, I'm so lost,
Which way to go? I don't know,
All I know is that I need you God to take control,
Please take control, and change my ways,
I need to know I'm saved, right now I'm feeling pain,
And when I prayed that, I truly felt a change,
It didn't happen all at once but trust me things did change,
I've never been the same since that day I called on Jesus!
He changed my life, in exchange for chains He gave me freedom!
I've been forgiven of every sin I've ever committed,
Rid me of my ignorance Father and show me how to live it!
I want to be like You, I want to be like You,
I hate this evil inside me, provide me with Your truth,
Because the whole world is surrounded with lies,
I know because I bought into them, they blinded my eyes,
So please renew my mind, renew my soul,
Create a heart that's clean inside my God and make me whole,
I need You more than I need the breath inside of my lungs,
Protect me from evil, I need Your presence to come!
You are holy and amazing and your Spirit's always pure,
You are worthy of the praise because You are the ONLY cure,
Break down the walls of Jericho in Jesus' name we call,
Heal the Sodom and Gomorrah of our generation's fall,
God we need You we've been broken from confusion and abuse,
Sexuality confused, pornography introduced,
It was people who had done me wrong,
But Jesus showed me how to live!
Redemption is what the Gospel is!
[Chorus 4:]
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Redemption is what is the Gospel is
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Jesus show me how to live
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so,
