8 CommentsAt about 12:45, all 70+ students lunching in a packed Cafe 212 were treated to a soaring gospel rendition over the loudspeakers of “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” a favorite with Sunday Schools the world over. Basically, the only words are a repeated loop of “yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so.”
Probably not the same Muzak they play in Cafe Nana.

@Anonymous about time you pagans got some jesus love
@Anonymous i didn’t know that had gone out of favor
@Anonymous Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They’re all precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
@no no no that’s jesus loves the little children
@Beth Because I grew up in Backwardsville, I learned the song with the lines “Red, and yellow, black, and white,
They’re all precious in his sight.” In college I learned that that version went out of favor in the 1970s in light of the fact we don’t call Asians yellow. My dad still slips “oriental” into conversation, though.
@curious who gets to choose the music they play? last night they were playing the “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack.
@incidentally i have been to church services that had music with MUCH more vapid lyrics
@lyrics Jesus loves me
This I know
for the Bible
Tells me so
Little ones
To him belong
They are weak
But he is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
