The Words I (Sidewalk Prophets) Would Say

The title of my blog comes for my newest favorite song--Because I have a tendency to change my mind (daily), I figured I would claim this song "my favorite" before my mind changes itself.
The song "The Words I Would Say" is a song by Sidewalk Prophets, a band I might as well also claim as a new favorite. The song is one I first heard while perusing iTunes "Songs for You" play-list. After hearing iTunes 20second blip of the song I was hooked and instantly purchased the song, and not long after, the album. The song speaks to me a gentle reminder of how to live my life and how to encourage others. Too often I find myself getting caught up in the "ME moments" of life that I fail to acknowledge my Heavenly Father and give Glory where Glory is due. I am
always quick to forget God's unfailing promises of faithfulness and love and too often find myself worried about what's next and where my life is going. This song reminds me to take hold of God's promises and to live life with a fervent and bold faith...a faith unafraid to be shared with others, a faith unafraid of the future, a faith unafraid of the ways of this world, a faith simply unafraid.
Below is the chorus of this song..an echo and reminder of living on God's simple truths. Enjoy.

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.
