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
I’d tell you these simple [bad word] 
Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope
You’re going to 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 [bad word] 
From one simple life to another
I will [bad word] find peace in the Father

Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope
You’re going to 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
