3 in the mornin 
and im still awake
so i picked up a pen and a page
and i started writing 
just what id say if we were face ti face
id tell you
just what you mean to me
id tell you these simple truths

chorus
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
dont live life in fear
forgive and forget
but dont forget why you're here
take you're time and pray
these are the words i would say

last time we spoke 
you said you were hurting
and i gelt your pain in my heart
and i want to tell you
that i keep on praying 
jove will find you where you are
i know cause ive already been there
these simple truths

chorus
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
dont live life in fear
forgive and forget
but dont forget why you're here
take your time and pray
these are the words i would say

from one simple life to another
i would say
come and 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 so
dont live life in fear
forgive and forget
but dont 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
