67. MY JESUS I LOVE THEE

1. My Jesus I love Thee, I know thou art mine;

For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;

My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ’tis now.

2. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me.

And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree,

I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;

If ever I love Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now.

3. I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,

And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;

And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.

4. In mansions of glory and endless delight,

I’ll ever adore Thee in Heaven so bright;

I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
