Walking into church on Sunday
Just a kid, never knowing that someday
Every worry I'd find
Would follow me all of my life
Nervous sitting there in the classroom
The teacher saw that I was brand-new
I will never forget every word that she said
She said-
"Jesus loves you no matter who you are
No matter where you go, you're not alone, He's in your heart
You're a child of heaven, He's known you from the start
He made you in His image and He set your life apart
I pray you'll always remember how much Jesus loves you"
Now I struggle to believe that I'm worthy
'Cause I'm anything but deserving all the voices of shame
From the mistakes that I've made
But a stranger who barely knew me
Told me there was still more to my story
This is not how it ends
And I heard what he said
When he said-
"Jesus loves you no matter who you are
No matter what you've done or where you've been, He holds your heart
You are forgiven, He took the cross for you
He died and rose again, so you could find your love made new
I pray you'll always remember how much Jesus loves you
How much Jesus loves you"
Walking into a church on Sunday
My daughter standing close beside me
All the things that I felt, she feels them as well
She's holding my hand so tightly
At the classroom door before I leave
I knelt down next to her, whispered the very same words
I said-
"Jesus loves you no matter who you are
No matter where you go, you're not alone, He's in your heart
You're a child of heaven, He's known you from the start
He made you in His image and He set your life apart
I pray you'll always remember, Jesus loves you
Jesus loves you"
I pray you'll always remember how much Jesus loves you
Jesus loves you
