"Jesus Knew" and Palm Leaf Paper Cut Border

JESUS KNEW

'Course everybody loved Him,
The folks that knew, I mean,
And the disciples sorrowed
A lot, 'cause they had seen

Their Jesus die upon the cross;
They laid Him in the grave
And wondered how it was He'd said
He came the world to save.

They only knew that He was gone,
They felt most awful blue,
'Cause they were just plain, common folks,
A lot like me and you.

But Jesus knew that He would rise,
And everything would be
Just like He said, so Easter Day
Brings joy to you and me.
