Jesus loves me

Sunday school song

"Jesus loves me" is a phrase from a children's Christian hymn, often the first song taught in Sunday school.

The complete line—"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so"—expresses the foundational Protestant teaching of divine love.

The phrase functions as a simple declaration of faith, sometimes invoked earnestly, sometimes with ironic distance: She still believes Jesus loves her, bless her heart.
