Lyrics
Oh don't go and talk about my father
God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
He made this world for us to live in, and gave us everything
And all he asks of us is we give each other love.
Oh ya'
Don't go and talk about my father
'Cause God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
He loves us whether or not we know it
Just loves us, oh ya'
And He'll forgive all our sins
Forgive all our sins
And all He asks of us, is we give each other love.
Oh ya'
Love your mother, she bore you
Love your father, he works for you
Love your sister, she's good to you
Love your brother, your brother
Don't go and talk about my father, He's good to us,
God is my friend
Jesus is my friend
For when we call in Him for mercy, Mercy Father
He'll be merciful, my friend
Oh, yes He will
All he asks of us, I know, is we give each other love,
Oh ya'
