Eighth grade poems--"Yes, Jesus Loves You"

On Friday I had the great pleasure of presenting poems that I wrote for the outgoing eighth graders to these eighth graders. It's something that my youth pastor did for me when I was graduating from high school, and it meant a lot to me, so I decided to pass it on.

This video that my friends and I made in college was also an inspiration:



I wrote the last verse several years ago, and it still rings true, especially now as the outgoing eighth graders are moving up to CY very soon:

It's God's grace that brought our friends, and He takes away
And He is still good, and He has never changed.
He saved us from wrath and works all for our good
And at the end look back-- by His grace you've always stood.

Yes, my friends, Jesus loves you. Rest in that.
