Jesus Loves Me by Whitney Houston.


Jesus Loves Me is a song  intended for kids, but after the death of Whitney Houston early this February,  the Jesus Loves Me, made a great impact, since this was the last song sang by Whitney in public.  Whitney or Nippy to her friends at New Hope Baptist Church was a soloist at Junior choir at age 11. Having grown in a church with her family, serving the Lord with her stunning voice, she could have stayed longer on earth had she not chosen the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and be engulfed in so much burden. As what Kevin Costner had conveyed during Whitney’s wake. As I quoted.

 “It was the burden that made her great and the part that caused her to stumble in the end,” Costner said “ The inexplicable burden that comes with fame. Call it doubt call it fear I’ve had mine.  I know the famous in the room have had theirs.”  

This world is not our permanent home. One day we will leave this earth and go back to our creator.  When that day comes  there is one question that God would ask to each and everyone of us,. “What have you done to the life I gave you.?”

I have copied the lyrics of the song, Jesus Loves Me. This song explains how a kid would be more than confident to feel God’s love than most of the matured ones.
 
                     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!
                     The Bible tells me so
                     
                     Jesus loves me! He who died,
                     Heaven’s gate to open wide,
                     Let His little child come in
                     Yes, Jesus loves me!
                     Yes, Jesus loves me!
                     Yes, Jesus loves me!
                     The Bible tells me so
                     
                      Jesus loves me! Loves me still,
                     When I’m very weak and ill,
                      From His shining throne on high,
                      Comes to watch me where I lie.
                     
                      Yes, Jesus loves me!
                      Yes, Jesus loves me!
                      Yes, Jesus loves me!
                      The Bible tells me so
                    Jesus loves me! He will stay,
                    Close beside me all the way,
                    Jesus loves me! He will stay,
                   Close beside me all the way,
                   He’s prepared a home for me,
                   And some day His face I’ll see
                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                   Yes, Jesus loves me!
                   The Bible tells me so
