Jesus, He Loves Me
Edwin McCain · Far From Over [2001]
But I feared no man
Saw the beach and the footprints
Alone in the sand
Times seemed hopeless
A night too dark to see
The lonely footprints on the road behind
Were the times when you carried me
And Jesus, He loves me
This I know
Jesus, He loves me
For the Bible tells me so
Son of God, our savior and King
You're taking away the sins of the world
So I'll raise my voice and sing
Jesus, He loves me
This I know
Jesus, He loves me
For the Bible tells me so
I've held the hand of the Devil
At the crossroads of my faith
My Lord came and rescued me
By his saving grace
Jesus, He loves me
This I know
Jesus, He loves me
And you know he saved me soul
He saved my soul
Jesus, He Loves Me
