Quick preface to this video, which is the Isaac Watts hymn "He Loves Me." I recorded it outside, and my son came and tapped on the door with his milk glass while I was playing, and the dogs came running out when he opened the door, and there was all kinds of commotion. A bee was swarming around me while I was singing it, so it was quite eventful, but I think it turned out okay. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it in the midst of all that was going on. God bless you, and here's He Loves Me by Isaac Watts.
Alas, and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Beneath the blood that sacred is, for sinners such as I. Was it for crimes that I had done he groaned upon a tree? Amazing pity, grace, unknown and love beyond degree. 'Cause he loves me, he loves me, he loves me, this I know. He gave himself to die for me because He loves me so. Well, might the sun in darkness hide and shut his glorious eyes when Christ the mighty That he may die for man, the creature sin. But drops of grief and every pain, the death of love I owe. So here, Lord, I give myself away. It's all that I can do. He loves me, he loves me, he loves me, this I know. He gave himself Himself to die for me because he loves me so. Yes, he loves me. He loves me. He loves me. This I know. He gave himself To die for me, because he loves me so. Because he loves me so.
