Jesus Will Then Love You Even More by Ivar Kalleberg
You may have a tragic fate Or some problems with your weight Perhaps you haven’t got a job or home You may have a foul disease Be in debt up to your knees You may be short and ugly like a gnome If you lost a limb or two You have reasons to feel blue Maybe your mom-in-law has come to stay If your marriage seems to fail If your brother goes to jail If you believe your only son is gay
Then remember – God has told you – Don’t despair If you’re bothered by too much to bear If you’re plagued by sufferings galore Jesus will then love you even more
If some hoodlums stole your car Thank your God that you still are Safe and sound while riding in a train If your health will soon decay ‘Cause you smoke a lot each day The good Lord brings you comfort in your pain If your ticker is worn out If your joints are full of gout If earthquakes crushed your garden and your house If you lose your teeth and hair And have tumors here and there And if your best friend came and stole your spouse
Then remember – God has told you – Don’t despair If you’re bothered by too much to bear If you’re plagued by sufferings galore Jesus will then love you even more
