To get a full understanding of the song, you need to watch the 1967 movie "The Graduate" starring Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson (the wife of his father's business partner) and Dustin Hoffman as "the Graduate" (As it won many awards, can probably rent it from your local video store if they have a "Classics" section.)
Mrs. Robinson is the "sinner" for having sex with a young man young enough to be her son and he ends up falling in love with her daughter and in the end, coming the wedding of the daughter and "tealing her" away from her would be husband, with the ending of the film showing Dustin Hoffman and the daughter (portrayed by Katharine Ross) riding on a bus away from the church.
The title song by Simon and Garfunkle from the soundtrack is a tribute to "Mrs. Robinson" and "Jesus loves you more than you will know" is to imply forgiveness for what she has done, although she never asks for forgiveness.

If you look at the entire song its saying how Mrs. Robinson is becoming not holy and they are bringing her back to Jesus so she can go to heaven.

you reside in a international the place Santa Claus is genuine and the place cartoons can relatively become presidents.... in case you ask tht question in a literal context .while you're askin 4 d symbolical value of that line from Simon and Garfunkel's hit song, i could say that God loves anybody regardless of their shortcomings, imperfections and weaknesses, this is barely this nicely-known fact that protects God-fearing human beings from eternal damnation.

Are you referring to the line, "Jesus loves you more than you will know"?
In that case, it's just a saying. Just like "Jesus loves you!" or whatever. :)
