I could feel hatred
I could pull all my hair out
I could be your enemy
But that wouldn't be any good for me
I gave you my heart
But you threw tomatoes
I gave you my all
But that just wasn't enough for you
You're a child of God
And that's why I still love you
You're a child of God
And that's why I'll forgive you
You're a child of God
And that's why I will sing for you
You're a child of God
And that's why I, that's why I must love you
I thought about startin' a fight
I wanted to punch you out
But I know that just wouldn't be right
Cause then I wouldn't be any better
You laugh at me and you spit me out
Your words could easily hurt cut me up
But the Lord is big and he's helped me out
To put this all in a prayer
You're a child of God
And that's why I still love you
You're a child of God
And that's why I'll forgive you
I try to give ten for one
But that ain't always easy
How about ten for none
Should I still be giving
You're a child of God
And that's why I still love you
You're a child of God
And that's why I'll forgive you (I'll forgive, I'll forgive)
You're a child of God
And that's why I will sing for you
You're a child of God
And that's why I, that's why I must love you
I could feel hatred
I could pull all my hair out
I could feel, I could feel so much
But I choose to feel love
