Full Lyrics
CHORUS
God loves a cheerful giver, give all you've got,
He loves to hear you laughing when you're in an awkward spot;
When the odds add up against you,
It's time to stop and sing: "Praise God!"
to praise Him is a joyous thing.
VERSE 1
Peter always made a fuss, Peter was impetuous,
He knew hard times when he denied his Lord,
But hardly had he fallen when he got right up, began again,
Christ named him His successor as his reward.
VERSE 2
Jonah was a gloomy sort, He always had a sad report,
He ran from God, he ran, and he set sail,
His journey's end was quite abrupt, A fish came by and swallowed him up,
He spent three dark and dreary days inside the whale.
VERSE 3
Holy Job was richly blest, He lost it all but stood the test,
For Job was steadfast in his misery,
"God gives to me, He takes away, Blest be the name of God this day",
And he was richly blest for his fidelity.
