"The Words I Would Say"

I heard this song on the radio on our way home from church on Sunday. I don't want to forget it and I want this to be an anthem for AB's life. I can't think of any better words I would say to my child about life and how to live her life. I heard it, and immediately felt compelled to remember it and dedicate to her. It's by Sidewalk Prophets I don't know much about them, as this is the first song I've heard by them...but I'm thinking I may have to get their CD. I've also put it on my player at the bottom of my blog. Take a look and have a listen.

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

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 don't live 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

That love will find you where you are

I know because I've already been there

So please here these simple truths

CHORUS

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 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

I couldn't have said it better myself. This is my prayer for you, sweet AB.
