The Words I Would Say, by Sidewalk Prophets

The first time I heard this song, I broke down crying. I felt as though this song was written to all my friends who were suffering at that time. I knew that this was a song that had to be shared. As I started singing and telling people about it, I realized that this song was also written for me. I needed these words of encouragement just as much as the next person.

To know that there's someone who cares enough for you, that they could even feel your pain in their heart is mind-blowing to begin with. However, as I started to think about it, we as the church, should be feeling those same emotions. We should have a deep connection with one another and should share in each other's joys and sorrows. No matter what may happen though, we always need to remember that God is in control and will help us through these times.

However, I still leave you with this reminder. This is what I would say if we were face to face.

The Words I Would Say: Sidewalk Prophets (Album: These Simple Truths)
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 truths,

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 truths,

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,

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 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
