Intro

Verse 1

I was lost, I was in chains
The world had a hold of me
My heart was a stone,
I was covered in shame
When He came for me
I couldn't run, couldn't run
from His presence
I couldn't run, couldn't run
from His arms

Chorus

Jesus, He loves me
He loves me, He is for me
Jesus, how can it be?
He loves me, He is for me

Verse 2

It was a fire deep in my soul
I'll never be the same
I stepped out of the dark
And into the light
When He called my name
I couldn't run, couldn't run
from His presence
I couldn't run, couldn't run
from His arms

Bridge

He holds the stars
and He holds my heart
With healing hands
that bear the scars
The rugged cross
Where He died for me
My only hope, my everything

Jesus Loves Me - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

The song “Jesus Loves Me” by Chris Tomlin is a beautiful reminder of the love that Jesus has for us. The lyrics tell the story of a person who was lost and in chains, feeling ashamed and unable to run from the presence of Jesus. But when Jesus called their name, they stepped out of the darkness and into the light. 

This story is a reminder of the love that Jesus has for us, no matter how far we have strayed. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus loves us even when we are lost and in chains, and He is always there to call us back to Him. 

The bridge of the song speaks of the healing hands of Jesus that bear the scars of the cross. This is a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for us. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus gave His life for us, and His love is the only hope that we have. 

The song “Jesus Loves Me” is a beautiful reminder of the love that Jesus has for us. No matter how far we have strayed, Jesus is always there to call us back to Him. His love is the only hope that we have, and He is always ready to forgive us and give us a new life.
