We had gone to share Christmas carols and joy with the residents. As soon as we walked in, we met an elderly woman standing by the beautifully lit Christmas tree in the lobby. With excitement, I told her, \u201cWe came to sing Christmas carols with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She looked at me with gentle honesty and said, \u201cI don\u2019t remember any Christmas carols, but I remember \u2018Jesus Loves Me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That simple moment touched me deeply and became a testimony I\u2019ve carried with me throughout my journey as a worship pastor. It reminded me that long after melodies fade and memories dim, the love of Jesus remains unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019m honored to share my own rendition of this precious hymn\u2014featuring my close friend, fellow worshiper, and sister in Christ, Katie Lawyer. Thank you, Katie, for lending your beautiful heart and voice.<\/p>\n<p>I pray this version blesses you as much as it blessed me to produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019d love to invite you to listen to a special song that\u2019s very close to my heart\u2014a personal rendition of the timeless hymn \u201cJesus Loves Me.\u201d During the Christmas season of 2009, I visited a retirement home in Liberty, TX, with my worship team from church.
