Teddy Bears and Rainbows

A frightened little girl in a hospital was being tucked in for the night when she asked, “When I die and go to heaven, will God have a teddy bear there for me?”  The young nurse prayed, asked God and His answer came in a song that she passed on to my daughter, Dustie and I.  We recorded it and the song became a hit among many children.  And why shouldn’t it be? Jesus said it real plain when he said, “Unless you become as a little child you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.”  Thank God for the simplicity of the Gospel that even a child can understand… and yes, I really do believe God will have teddy bears in heaven for His children.

Teddy bears and rainbows, Flowers and trees
My God made the little things, To show His love to me.

Sometimes I grab my old teddy bear, And climb my favorite tree
I reach up to heaven where, My father, He know my needs, He gives me…

Teddy bears and rainbows, Flowers and trees
My God made the little things, To show His love to me.

One day those teddy bears will be gone, The flowers and the trees
The colors of the rainbow, We’ll no longer see
But that’s the day I’ve been waiting for, The day I long to see
My Father is waiting there, To show His love to me, And give me…

Teddy bears and rainbows, Flower and trees
My God made everything, To show His love to me.
