Lyrics

Don't go and say things about my father
God is my friend (I love him)
He made this world for us to live in
He gave us everything
And all He asks of us
Is we give each other love, honey
Don't go and talk about my father
God is my friend (talk about)
He loves us whether or not we know it
And He'll forgive all our sins
And all He asks of us
Is we give each other love (God is love)
Love your mother (God is love)
Love your father (God is love)
Love your sister (God is love)
Love your brother (God is love)
Love your brother (God is love)
Love your mother (God is love)
Love your brother (God is love)
Don't go and talk about my father
God is my friend
For when we call on Him for mercy
He'll be merciful, my friend
Oh, and all he asks of us
Is we give each other love
Don't go and talk about my father
God is my friend
Well then I know He's your friend, yeah
For Jesus is my friend
And I know He's wonderful
He makes the wind to blow
He makes it rain
He makes the snow flakes
Oh, yeah, I know there's a God, don't deny it
Said, he's wonderful
