Jesus Loves Me is a Christian hymn set to words by Anna Bartlett Warner. The lyrics first appeared as a poem in the context of a novel called Say and Seal, written by Susan Warner and published in 1860. The tune was added in 1862 by William Batchelder Bradbury who found the text of "Jesus Loves Me" in this book, in which the words were spoken as a comforting poem to a dying child. Along with his tune, Bradbury added his own chorus "Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus Loves me..." After publication the song became one of the most popular Christian hymns in churches around the world.
Different stanzas, other than the first, often are substituted. The stanza about illness is usually omitted, to make the hymn less disturbing to children. The United Church of Canada hymnal attributes the second and fourth stanza, and the last two lines of the final stanza, to David Rutherford McGuire. Attribution of the third stanza is unknown. An external link at the end of this article points to the original version.
Jesus ( /ˈdʒiːzəs/; Greek: Ἰησοῦς; 7–2 BC/BCE to 30–36 AD/CE), also referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Christ, is the central figure of Christianity and most Christian denominations venerate him as God the Son incarnated. In Islam, Jesus (in Arabic: عيسى in Islamic usage, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets.
Most modern historians agree that Jesus existed and was a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Roman Judaea, who was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate. Scholars have offered competing descriptions and portraits of Jesus, which at times share a number of overlapping attributes, such as a rabbi, a charismatic healer, the leader of an apocalyptic movement, a self-described Messiah, a sage and philosopher, or a social reformer who preached of the "Kingdom of God" as a means for personal and egalitarian social transformation. Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology of Jesus' life.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. In 2009, the Guinness World Records cited her as the most-awarded female act of all-time. Houston was one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide. She released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification. Houston's crossover appeal on the popular music charts, as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know", influenced several African American female artists to follow in her footsteps.
Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits. She is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly "Top Pop Album") on the Billboard magazine year-end charts. Houston's 1985 debut album Whitney Houston became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album Whitney (1987) became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Two, Three
Don't try to be the best man, be the best that you can
'cause number one ain't nothing but the opinion of man
and a man loves death and hate crime and pain
and kids are into theft and long lines of 'caine
insanity, profanity, ecstacy and blasphemy
but as for me I'm just tryin' to maintain
and it's a damn shame our brains have been drained
to be crazy and lazy and scared to make change
and these hard time's I try to be a role model
but I ain't gonna lie y'all I still battle a bottle
and a that's my biggest struggle I ain't no one to follow
sometimes I get the urge to leave a twelve pack hollow
just writing something in a sentence
ain't none of us sentencing from mentchant's and tenemants
wheather male or feminine all of us are guilty of showing a little ignorance
being resentful, envious and beligerent
and one day maybe we can figure it out
but 'til then I guess I'll just pull this cigarette out
and pull up a chair and open another brew
and sit down on the porch and do what I do
because
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
And we people in fast cars talkin' on cellphones
and answering machines, tryin' to buy a better laptop
and hell and cigarettes and sellin' on the internet
and memories are simpler, days fade in the backdrop
it's like people ain't important no more, I'm in a store
and I'm scannin' my own groceries, takin' a man's job
and I'm feeling sick and guilty and filthy
'cause you can find me on Rehab dot com
I'm wrong I'm right, I'm right I'm wrong
and this song is so negative but it's tight as a bomb
we are liars who admire, hire liars and why?
'cause the truth is hard to swallow and we're scared to die
we're playin' with fire but ain't a prayer to fry
we're tryin' to get to heaven without the freedom to fly
'cause if we can't cheat 'em we wanna beat 'em in the eye
we get mad if the see our lie, I wonder why?
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
I said Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is so strong
You know I'm sittin here thinkin'
three in the morning the T.V. blinkin'
I'm all alone, on the brink
end of destruction from drinkin'
somebody must be lookin' out
'cause I shoulda died years ago
the demon, the ego, the overdose
the pit in my stomach emotional depot
my stock about to plummet here we go
I'm afraid to go to sleep 'cause maybe this time I ain't gonna wake up
but somehow I do sunshine and through my view
if I'm goin' to Hell I'm past due
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he's so strong
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
he is strong, he's so strong
you know he's so strong y'all
he's so strong y'all
you know he's strong he's strong he's strong he's strong
Jesus Loves me! This I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belongs
They are weak, but He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me!
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;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so
Jesus, take this heart of mine,
Make it pure and holy Thine;
On the cross You died for me,
I will try to live for Thee
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
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
Oh, yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
Pressing on the up away
Always guide me Lord I pray
Undeserving, and stubbornly never fail to love me still
Yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so
Yes Jesus loves me, love
Oh yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
For the Bible tells me so
(Feels so good to know) that I'm never alone
See, sometimes I'm lonely but never alone
For the Bible tells, for the Bible tells
For the Bible tells me so
See I know that he loves me
Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong
