“My Jesus I Love Thee” is a timeless hymn that has remained a staple in worship services around the world, and this My Jesus I Love Thee chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in both traditional and modern worship settings. The song has a reflective, heartfelt feel and focuses on devotion and love for Christ through rich, memorable lyrics.
The chords follow a classic hymn-style progression that’s approachable for acoustic guitar or a full band. Because of the slower pace and familiar melody, the focus stays on supporting the lyrical message rather than technical playing. Once you have the progression down, it’s more about feel and creating a worshipful atmosphere than anything difficult musically. You can play it in the key of E as written or adjust with a capo depending on your vocal range. This chart is available in the key of E.
