"The Bible Tells Me So" - A New Hymn to a Familiar Tune
From time to time, I enjoy writing hymn lyrics to a familiar tune. The following four verses should be sung to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me.” I wanted the verses to open with these ideas: Jesus saves me from my sin, Jesus leads me by His light, Jesus keeps me by His power, and Jesus loves me in His heart.
I hope the song blesses you!
“The Bible Tells Me So”
(lyrics by Mitch Chase - September 9, 2023)
VERSE 1
Jesus saves me from my sin,
pardons all my guilt within.
He alone gives lasting rest,
peace and joy and righteousness.
Yes, Jesus saves me,
yes, Jesus saves me,
yes, Jesus saves me,
the Bible tells me so.
VERSE 2
Jesus leads me by his light
through the darkness of the night.
He will guide me all the way;
He is all my hope and stay.
Yes, Jesus leads me,
yes, Jesus leads me,
yes, Jesus leads me,
the Bible tells me so.
VERSE 3
Jesus keeps me by His pow’r,
holds me fast each day and hour,
Though I fall, this is my song:
I am weak, but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus keeps me,
yes, Jesus keeps me,
yes, Jesus keeps me,
the Bible tells me so.
VERSE 4
Jesus loves me in His heart,
never from such love to part.
Mercies from His heav’nly throne
Jesus gives to all His own.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
yes, Jesus loves me,
yes, Jesus loves me,
the Bible tells me so.
