The phrase "Jesus loves you" is totally mainstream and doesn't raise
an eyebrow anywhere. I don't suppose that people are all referring to
a mystical vision of Jesus although I'm sure some are.
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.
Jesus loves me! This I know,
as he loved so long ago,
taking children on his knee,
saying, "Let them come to me."
(Refrain)
Jesus loves me still today,
walking with me on my way,
wanting as a friend to give
light and love to all who live.
(Refrain)

Isn't that called 'magical thinking'? I wonder how many of todays
Christians Jesus wouldn't be able to abide for more than a minute, if
that.
