Emma's Song

I overheard Emma in her room singing this little song...enjoy!


God loves me.
God loves me.
Even when I'm bad,
God loves me.
When I get dirty and mommy has to cut my fingernails to get the dirt out,
God loves me.
When I forget to pee and I pee in my pants,
God loves me.
I love God.
God loves me.
We are in love,
Oh, yes, we are in love.
I love God.
God loves me.
God, God, God.
Loves, loves, loves,
Me, me, me!
