sacred sabbaths 9/19: i know that my savior loves me

Sep 19, 2010

This song is a keeper! I love singing it and I especially love hearing the children in my Primary sing it. It is so beautiful! Today I cried as I sang these words, it was so wonderful to hear so many children sing of their love for the Savior and His love for them with huge smiles on their faces. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can listen (and watch!) it here.

A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ’round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.

I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.

Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above.

I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.
