Subject: RE: origins: Jesus' blood never failed me yet
Not necessarily squeamish, Joe, as "love" just come out of my mouth when I started singing along. Not being a Christian may have something to do with it, but I don't think so, as I really like some of the gospels and like to sing along.:-)

As far as Jesus Loves Me, the Tramp (wish we could come up with a more personal name for him) sings "...is one thing I know, for he loves me so.." which reminded me of the "Jesus loves me, this I know." Maybe he didn't use some of those lyrics, but Jesus Loves Me is in my heart and head from childhood, so I made a connection.

Is this tune used for any other song? It is really beautiful and somewhat sophisticated.
