Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.

1. You went to Calvary,
there you died for me,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.
You went to Calvary,
there you died for me,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.

2. You rose up from the grave,
to me new life you gave,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.
You rose up from the grave,
to me new life you gave,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.

Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,

Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,
thank you, Lord, for loving me.

Tune

The story behind the hymn

Some of the general comments on 253 apply here also. Alison Revell’s song, written in 1978, featured in the first MP in 1983, and is found in main baptist and pentecostal books as well as children’s collections. The simplicity of its childlike gratitude for the cross and resurrection, springing from the personal love of Jesus (Galations 2:20), is part of its attraction; the repetitions are integral to the song without being either mindless or interminable. It is notable that in MP this song is followed by a shorter one of the same date, by the same author, and with a similar opening, Thank you, Jesus, for your love for me. The author’s own tune THANK YOU JESUS was composed with and for the words. MP used Roland Fudge’s arrangement as chosen here; The New Redemption Hymnal calls the tune FOR LOVING ME and adopts Margaret Evans’ version.
