I Believe God's In Love With Me
by Mark Bishop

Album: Just Pay Attention

Chasing butterflies and singing songs,
well that's where any little girl belongs.
But she doesn't get to go outside, instead
she spends almost everyday in bed.

She's made it through to twelve years old somehow.
But the doctors don't give her much longer now.
She's had more than her fair-share of pain,
and there's no-one with more right to complain.

Her mother kneels beside her bed in prayer.
She cries and tells the Lord it's so unfair.
She wonders if her prayers have gone unheard
when her little angel offers up these words...

Chorus

Mamma, I believe that God's in love with me.
Maybe Jesus needs an angel or another voice to sing.
There must be something up there He can't wait for me to see.
Mamma, I believe that God's in love with me.

Now her family's laying flowers at the grave.
Seven years ago their daughter passed away.
They imagine her an angel in the choir,
in a land where no-one's ever sick or tired.

Well now, everything that you and I believe
is arrived at by the things that we can see.
But heaven knows there's more than meets the eye.
Ask that little angel on the other side.

Chorus repeat twice.
