God Loves a Cheerful Giver

God loves a cheerful giver, give it 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
Holy Job was richly blessed. He lost it all but stood the test
For Job was steadfast in his misery
God gives to me, He takes away. Blessed be the name of God this day
And he was doubly blessed for his fidelity
God loves a cheerful giver, give it all you’ve got
He loves to hear you laughing when you’r in an awkward spot
When the odds add up against you, it’s time to stop and sing
Prais God to praise Him is a joyous thing
Jonah was a gloomy sort, he always had a sad retort
He ran from God. He ran and he set sail
His journeys end was quite abrupt. A fish came by and
Swallowed him up
He spent three dark and dreary days inside the whale
God loves a cheerful giver, give it 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
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
God loves a cheerful giver, give it 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
