The Words I Would Say

Three in the morning and I'm still awake
 So I picked up a pen and a page
 And I started writing just what I'd say
 If we were face to face
 I'd tell you just what you mean to me
 Tell you these simple truths
 Be strong in the Lord and
 Never give up hope
 You're gonna do great things
 I already know
 God's got his hand on you so
 Don't live life in fear
 Forgive and forget
 But don't forget why you're here
 Take your time and pray
 These are the words I would say
 ♪
 Last time we spoke you said you were hurting
 And I felt your pain in my heart
 I want to tell you that I keep on praying
 Love will find you where you are
 I know, 'cause I've already been there
 So please hear these simple truths
 Be strong in the Lord and
 Never give up hope
 You're gonna do great things
 I already know
 God's got his hand on you so
 Don't live life in fear
 Forgive and forget
 But don't forget why you're here
 Take your time and pray
 These are the words I would say
 From one simple life to another
 I will say
 Come, find peace in the Father
 Be strong in the Lord and
 Never give up hope
 You're gonna do great things
 I already know
 God's got his hand on you so
 Don't live life in fear
 Forgive and forget
 But don't forget why you're here
 Take your time and pray
 Thank God for each day
 His love will find a way
 These are the words I would say
