I love good old hymns that sing about Jesus and His love for you and His love for me. A favorite of mine and of the children at Sunday school is ” Jesus Loves  Me”. It goes like this.  Jesus loves me, this I know, and the Bible tells me so; little ones to him belong, in his love we shall be strong. Yes,  Jesus loves me, yes, Jesus loves me,  yes Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.  Jesus loves me,  this I know, as he loved so long ago,  taking children on his knee, saying, ” let them come to me.”  Jesus loves me still today, walking with me on my way, wanting as a friend to give light and love to all that live.  Yes Jesus loves you and He love me, the Bible tells us so!

It’s easy to say you’re beaten and die;
It’s easy to crawfish and crawl.
But to fight and to fight when hope’s out of sight
That is the best game of them all.
And tho you came out of each little battle
All beaten and battered and scarred,
Just have one more try, it’s easy to die,
It’s the keeping on living that’s hard.
