Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. God planned the day; he planned the night. He gave the darkness, then the light, The sky of blue, the sun so bright, Because he loves me.
2. God gave me a family, A cheerful heart and eyes to see, That I might live here happily, Because he loves me.
