I really don't know how many of you know this song, but I've known it for 49 years and I
have either sang it with others, aloud in open spaces, in desperation, in triumph, in silence, to my children and grand children, in just about every situation, along with the rest of the childhood songs I had learned, usually beginning with this song.

However, it's the first time I've done it this way to use in a thread on a chat site. If in anyway it offends your sensibilities in any manner, my apologies. For those with grace, enjoy the sharpening of your sword of truth written on your heart and let us praise God together as you share your own selections.

There are 22 verses that I used in this one exhortation song and within the song a scripture sharing exhortation of my own choosing. We all as believers use scripture in our witness to others and most times without a Bible in our hands. I noticed, as I was putting this thread together, the countless selection of scripture available.

What would your 22 verse choices be you beautifully wonderful children of God ? I know I surely enjoyed it!

If you are as old as you imply, this look bad. Had better call the FBI with all theese children songs. Thank God that ISP providers in the EU sends all IP adresses trafic to the NSA to avoid terrorism, and it is officially stored for 5 years, and unofficially stored forever. Keeps us safe. Despite it being unconstitutional and against EU laws.

1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

1 Timothy 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Psalms 32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Me too! Welcome to CC, brother M!:):coffee:
lol, yup I already figured out I'm ugly, but God in His infinite mercy allowed a beautiful woman
to give me hope my children wouldn't catch my distresses, but honestly my intent was referring to:

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

there's beauty for ashes, I'd say I'm trading up totally, ty Jesus \0/

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

wonderful post


“But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:2-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ty for your kindness, it was a rough start on this thread, yet I rejoice for understanding moderators
that deal with obtuse comments that can arise from the worldly mind set.

I also rejoice in the many brethren that have the blessings of God to share here, encouraging others to seek their own liberty in Christ Jesus coming to their own certainty in faith.

Thank you for what you do here as well !

well thanks for the encouragement but I’m a bit more course ive noticed sometimes I lose my patience and a bit of carnality shows

I think that’s why I focus on the gospel and the mercy for the merciful type things I need more grace from others than some do but I am aware and always working on this

“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:24-26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I do have things of some value to share that the lord has given me , but I find I’m still a work in progress and appreciate those like yourself who show a bit better line of patience and gentleness I say this of my own fault , but I know the lord is always working on pruning things so there’s a bit better fruit to be had

your a good example for me right now along with a few others I truly do appreciate your brotherly example it’s encouraging thanks again

It's that sports saying: "Quitters never win and winners never quit"

Jesus did things that they might believe, we have that witness that we might believe.
God knows His own from the beginning who would get'er done! We're to be made free to enter to live, not enter to die. As lively stones of His house shielded by His love.

Jesus loves me this I know
for the bible tells me so
He will wash away my sin
let His loved one enter in


Yes Jesus loves me
yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
the bible tells me so.


I wish I had known this song as a child, I was brought up Catholic in the days when Catholics did not sing Protestant songs [now praise God they do] such a simple song but so positive, no child would doubt but that Jesus loves them, He will wash away their sins and let them into His fellowship.

I learned it way, way back when a few of us used to go out singing gospel in the shopping mall. A woman came and tugged shyly at my sleeve and asked if I would sing that song for her, she used to sing at the Salvation army as a little kid and it always pulled at her heart strings although she had wandered far away from any faith in God she might have had. We were able to share with her.

I believe with all my heart folks get saved as little kids through such songs.

Yes sir, I loved the songs, stayed with music, was in chapel choir and competition youth choirs in high school, and the popular verses of scripture we used to drive and stir the hope in us. Romans 8:28, Philippians 1:6, Jeremiah 29:13 and to awaken unto righteousness (1 Cor. 15:34), growing from glory to glory 2 Cor. 3:18 in becoming the fully persuaded rejoicing believer I am today celebrating with likeminded believers in the body of Christ Jesus in the sureness of those that first brought me in to hear the Word of God. Thank you Jesus !

One of my sisters and I were sent off to summer Bible school from our overcrowded trailer home. I always looked forward to the Kool-aid and great big home made cookies.
There was a song I learned,"Jesus Loves Me," and the words to the song were my only doctrine until I was given to experience the entering of the Holy Spirit into my being about twenty-five years laster.
The Holy Spirit confirmed my faith and changed me. Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

That truly says it all except for the sealing of the Holy Spirit, but that leads sto all in Messiah. Thank you for this wonderful reminder, and I have posted this twice before, but I wanted you to know. God bless you.
