One day God said, “You know, I think I’ll make a billion stars today.” He didn’t have to, but he did,
.
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.

God didn’t have to give us sunrises and sunsets, but He did,
Because He loves us and wants us to be happy.
God didn’t have to make oceans and beaches, but He did,
Because He loves us and wants us to be happy.
God didn’t have to make the Rocky Mountains,
The Grand Tetons,
Or the Sierras, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
He didn’t have to make pink roses,
Purple bougainvilleas,
Or birds of paradise, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
He didn’t have to give us good scents, like star jasmine, citrus blossoms, and lavender, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
He didn’t have to give us pineapples, mangoes, and grapes, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
God didn’t have to give us puppies, and kittens, and goldfish, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy.
God didn’t have to be born in a stable
And be crucified,
And rise from the dead, but he did,
Because he loves us and wants us to be happy!
God gives us all good things,
So that we will glorify him by enjoying him forever.
