JESUS CHRIST >> LOVE OF CHRIST FOR US
SDAH 190
Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Text
1
Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Refrain
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
2
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide:
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
3
Jesus, take this heart of mine,
Make it pure and wholly thine;
On the cross You died for me,
I will love and live for Thee.

Long before John F. Kennedy became the US president, he served as a PT-Boat Commander in the Pacific in the Second World War. A fateful story is written in many history books about the time when Kennedy’s PT-109 torpedo boat was rammed by the Japanese first-line Fubuki-class destroyer, Amagiri on August 2, 1943 close to the Solomon Islands.
The PT was cut in two and hit the starboard. Kennedy was thrown hard to the left in the cockpit and he thought, “This is how it feels to be killed,”as he looked up at the glowing destroyer towering over him.
