God Loves Me More

Why does God love me more than some sweet bird?
Is it because I am so loveable?
Is it because I listen to His Word?
Or I'm exciting while the robin’s dull?

Wrens neither sew nor reap yet God feeds them,
He knows when one fair fowl falls from the sky,
He builds crows better nests than Bethlehem,
yet none fly heavenward so much as I.

Can any man sing sweeter than the lark?
Do we soar far with eagles' majesty?
 Does any owl have our sad side so dark?
Locked in their state, can gulls like us sail free?

With freedom, love and heaven He's no tightwad,
so like His lark, I'll live in loving God.
