God Loves His Children Everywhere

Representative Text

1 It makes no difference, East or West,
Wherever we may be,
God is our Father, Friend and Guide,
His gifts are showered on every side;
He cares for you and me.

2 It makes no difference, North or South,
Wherever we may be,
God loves His children everywhere,
And guards us with His tender care;
He loves both you and me.
