Dark head bent toward baby brow
Raining love on fertile ground
Listen and you’ll catch the sound
“Yes, Jesus loves me”
Head still dark, but age now shows
Gray hair fitting grandpa role
Still faint melody enthralls
“Yes, Jesus loves me”
Wrinkles, gray hairs show his age
Joys and sorrows mark life’s page
Great grand babes cradle, assuage
“Yes, Jesus love me”
At the end breath’s rattle stayed
Frailty to death gives way
From his Savior’s arms now says
“Yes, Jesus loves me”
