"Jesus Loves Us" and "Stick in the Sand"

Jesus Loves Us

“They are weak, but

He is strong,”

says a lovely

children’s song.

What sacred truth

is found therein!

How Sinless came

and died for sin.

Glory traded

for our hearts,

that we of Him

might be a part.

Stick in the Sand

He wrenched the stick into the sand

and carved the word with aching hand:
LOVE

His hand by limb of tree was pierced,

and blood ran down in torrents fierce.

It washed away the sand and stain;

all things gone—Love remains.
