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 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 And thank God for each day His love will find a way These are the words I would say Three in the morning, and I'm still awake I'd tell you just what you mean to me Be strong in the Lord Last time we spoke you said you were hurting I know 'cause I've already been there Be strong in the Lord Say... from one simple life to another Be strong in the Lord Take your time and pray "The Words I Would Say is a fairly autobiographical song. Many nights, God would lay a friend or family member on my heart, and I wouldn't be able to rest without literally writing them a letter. All of the "simple truths" contained in the chorus have, at one time or another, entered into those letters. One of the great appeals of this song is the perspective. It could represent a father or mother writing to a child who has left, a fiancé writing his bride to be, a friend writing a friend. No matter where the listener is in life, this song will hopefully remind them of someone that needs to hear about how much they are loved by the writer of the letter and by God. "The Words I Would Say," is our letter to inspire many more letters." - Sidewalk Prophets Three in the morning and I'm still awake I'd tell you just what you mean to me Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope So don't live life in fear, forgive and forget Last time we spoke you said you were hurting I know 'cause I've already been there Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope So don't live life in fear, forgive and forget Say from one simple life to another Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope So don't live life in fear, forgive and forget Take your time and pray |
