I love singing hymns. Some my favorite songs of all time were written hundreds of years ago. To be clear, I love new songs too. Any song that exalts Jesus and helps the church worship God in spirit and in truth is okay by me. A few years back, I wrote a new melody line and added a bridge to a beloved hymn, My Jesus, I Love Thee. The resulting song, Love You Now, is featured in this episode. Hope it encourages you and causes you to worship.
Love You Now
Words by Adoniram Judson Gordon, William Ralph Featherstone, and Mike Neifert
Music by Mike Neifert
Verse1:
Jesus, I love You, I know You are mine;
For You all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior, You are!
I love You! Love you now. I love you! Love you now.

Verse 2:
Jesus, I love You, because You loved me,
You purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love You for wearing the thorns on Your brow;
I love You! Love you now. I love you! Love you now.
Bridge 1:
For the life you lived, the life you gave, I love you.
For the life you live, the life you give, I love you, Jesus.
Love you now.
Verse 3:
Jesus, I love You, in life and in death.
I’ll keep on praising with every breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
I love You! Love you now. I love you! Love you now.

Verse 4:
Jesus, I’ll love You, with endless delight,
I’ll ever adore You in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
I love You! Love you now. I love you! Love you now.
Bridge 2 and Ending:
For the life you lived, the life you gave, I love you.
For the life you live, the life you give, I love you.
For the life you lived, the life you gave, I love you.
For the life you live, the life you give, I love you, Jesus.
Love You now. I love You! Love you now.
I love You! Love you now. I love you! Love you now.
