About this scene
"Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so." It's often the very first line of faith a child ever learns — not a Bible verse itself, but a line from Anna B. Warner's beloved 1860 hymn that generations of parents have sung at bedtime. The idea behind it comes straight from Scripture: "We love him, because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19), and Jesus' own welcome to little ones in Mark 10:14.
The drawing keeps that message simple and warm. The words "Jesus loves me" fill the sky in big rounded bubble letters, easy for small hands to color inside. Hearts of every size drift among the clouds, and down below a fluffy little lamb — a picture of a child safe in the Good Shepherd's care — stands beside a path that winds through a flowery meadow. Garlands of daisies frame each corner.
As your child colors, you might hum the hymn together. By the time the last heart is filled in, the words tend to be tucked into their heart too.
“Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
from the hymn by Anna B. Warner (1860)
Coloring ideas for this page
- Color each floating heart a different shade — pink, red, and purple make the sky feel full of love.
- Keep the little lamb soft white or cream, with a pink nose and rosy cheeks.
- Fill the bubble letters in rainbow order, one letter per color, so "Jesus loves me" really pops.
- Make the corner flower garlands bright yellow and orange like a spring morning.
What this page teaches
Jesus loves each child personally — not because of anything they've done, but because that's who He is. It's the simplest truth in the Bible, and the one worth learning first.
Questions parents ask
Is "Jesus loves me" actually a Bible verse?
Not word for word — it's the opening line of the hymn "Jesus Loves Me," written by Anna B. Warner in 1860. The truth it expresses comes straight from Scripture, though: 1 John 4:19 says "We love him, because he first loved us," and in Mark 10:14 Jesus welcomes the little children to come to Him.
What ages is this coloring page good for?
Roughly ages 3 to 8. The bubble letters, hearts, and lamb are large with thick outlines, so toddlers and preschoolers can stay in the lines, while older kids enjoy adding detail to the meadow and flower corners.
Can I use this page for a Sunday school class or nursery?
Absolutely — print as many copies as you need for your class, nursery, VBS group, or homeschool co-op. It pairs naturally with singing the hymn together at circle time.
