KDmusic has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Jesus Loves Me (He Is Strong).Jesus loves me (He is strong) is an adult study on the much-loved children's hymn that adds a powerful new epilogue for those feeling weak or vulnerable. Musically it uses subtle discords between cello, open guitar, and maternal harmonies to paint a picture of adult doubt or ambivalence that’s finally overcome by faith in a savior who is strong enough to ‘carry His sheep’.
This version of the song was written in January 2021, during the second covid lockdown. It introduces an epilogue focusing on the original line, 'They are weak, but He is strong”. That phrase really hits home for those of us who have found it difficult to cope with our own powerlessness in the face of the pandemic, social unrest & international war.
Although the song was written in response to the uncertainty and isolation of lockdown, the recording was completed just as the Russian invasion of Ukraine started. As I write, there’s a flood of millions of refugees, mothers, children, and the elderly. That human tragedy looks likely to continue.
The video is particularly dedicated to Ukraine’s victims and Russian families devastated by this unjust war. Whoever you are, ‘Yes, Jesus loves you”. God’s love knows no flags.
Lyrics:
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 He who died,
Heaven’s gates 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 loves me He will stay
Close beside me all the way
Then His little child will take
Up to heaven for His dear sake
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me
So…..
He is strong
He is strong
I am weak
But He is strong
He is strong
He is strong
I am weak
But He is strong
Strong………
