Here's what I think, what I believe to be true
so listen carefully and I'll tell you.
so that if you ever ask yourself Why did God?
You can look at this, smile and nod..
God made me me, just like He made you.
For we're not much different, that is true.
God gave me two hands and arms,
to reach out and grab you and pull you from harm.
God gave me two legs and feet
to walk life's path so we could meet.
God gave me one head and brain,
so I could learn and grow, knowledge I'd gain
God gave me one heart to beat
so my body would be filled with love so sweet.
God gave me the problems that I find
so I could overcome them, be free from the bind.
But God did not give me such a rough life
he did not give me misery, depression, pain or strife.
Those things myself did I give
when without God I chose to live.
For me God did many wonderful things
and because of that, there are songs to sing.
God never did waste time on me
he picked out two eyes, so beauty I could see.
For love is why God sent his son to die
For love is why he wiped the tears I cry.
For love he invested so very much
and for love, my soul he did touch.
But now we come to the root of my disdain
Why did he give me friends in pain?
With my eyes I see the pain brought to you
the suffering and sadness, I see it too.
The marks on the wrist, I know all too well
for they are the marks of a soul going through hell.
So why did God give me someone who's soul is on the brink?
The answer I know, for with my brain I can think
God gave me 2 arms to hug you tight
two hands to hold yours, telling you it'll be alright.
a head and a brain so I could think what to say
and a heart to love you so the pain goes away.
He gave me my problems so I would know what to do
to help you out with what you're going through.
He gave me a mouth so I could say all these things
and he gave me songs so in your ears they could ring.
He gave you to me because we needed to be
Together walking through life helping the other to see.
For love He gave us all of these things
so we could give it to each other when we need songs to sing.
Why did God care this way?
Because he is our friend
and friends we will stay.
