Jesus Loves Me for Seniors

Posted by Rolf Olson on

A church in Atlanta was honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired for many years. He was now 92. After a warm welcome and presentation it was his turn to speak. "When I was invited to come here today I was asked to tell you what was the greatest lesson I ever learned in my 60 years of preaching. I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing that would comfort me was this verse...."Jesus loves me this I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, They are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me.... The Bible tells me so.”

– Rolf Olson, Visitation Pastor

 

 

Here for you now is a Senior version of "Jesus Loves Me."

(Verse 1)

Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.

YES, JESUS LOVES ME, YES, JESUS LOVES ME.
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO. 

(Verse 2)

Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way. CHORUS

(Verse 3)

When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song,
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near." CHORUS 

(Verse 4)

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won,
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love. CHORUS
