GOD LOVES YOU

When you are just a child in school

And you always feel left out

You face the taunts and teasing

And get bullied all about.

When at last you reach your teens

Hoping things will change at last

But still you are the brunt of jokes

You can’t wait ‘til this is past.

And as you begin your adult life

You think you now have hope

But even in this grown up world

Sometimes it’s hard to cope.

It does not matter which stage of life

That you are living in

If you’re excluded and feel alone

You really need a friend.

Each day your life seems dreary

And you wish it would only end

But remember there is one who cares

And He wants to be your friend.

God loves you just the way you are

He created you after all

His concern is for your inner self

Just listen, you’ll hear His call.

Yes, there is one who is always there

He’s with you every day

He’ll give you all the strength you need

To face what comes your way.

He only asks one thing of you

That you accept His only Son

And with this simple act of faith

At last you’ll overcome.
