God Loves a Cheerful Giver Lyrics (Key G24)

d:-:d:-.d/d:s,:d:m/r:r:-:d/l,:-:-:d

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 up against you it’s time to stop and sing:

“Praise God!” To praise Him is a joyous thing.

1. Peter always made a fuss,

Peter was impetious,

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.

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.

3. 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.
