I Have the Love of Jesus In My Heart!


Excerpt from July 20th, 2016
Primary Lesson from Sunday-

Many times I would see a friend of mine at my church and be asked the usual question- "How are you doing?"
My reply was- I have the Love of Jesus in my Heart!

Taught the kids the following song that I learned years ago from "VeggieTales"

I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,
Down in my heart, (where?)
Down in my heart, (where?)
Down in my heart,
I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,
Down in my heart, (where?)
Down in my heart to stay.

And I'm so happy, so very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart.
(down in my heart)
And I'm so happy, so very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart.
End of Excerpt.

Here is another hymn with information on the Author down below. 

1 I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart;
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.

2 I've got the peace that passeth understanding,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart;
I've got the peace that passeth understanding,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.

3 I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart;
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.

4 For there is therefore now no condemnation,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart;
For there is therefore now no condemnation,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.
