Sung by Lydia
“And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” -Ephesians 6:4
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,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
This is my Father's world,
And to my list'ning ears,
All nature sings and 'round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world,
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father's world,
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world,
He shines in all that's fair,
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world,
O, let me ne'er forget,
That though the wrong seems oft' so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world,
The battle is not done,
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav'n be won.
This is my Father's world,
The battle is not done,
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav'n be won.
The Bible tells me so.
