Simple but True

Do you ever take the time to stop and wonder why you’re here?
Do you think it’s all a game of circumstance?
Do you struggle in a world that’s so confusing and unclear?
Does it seem your own existence is by chance?

Do you think today’s successes will create significance?
Does tomorrow promise love and happiness?
Will your present work and labor yield a future of rewards?
Will you be satisfied with nothing less?

So many questions in your mind...
Where is a meaning you can find?

Well, the answer is simple, but true...
Jesus laid down His life for one like you
His Blood was real
His Word is true
It all seems too simple...
It’s not that simple,
But He made it simple for you

Do you fight to open up your eyes and start another day?
Are you feeling kind of hopeless and afraid?
Does it seem a little lonely even when you’re not alone?
Do you ache for love that will not go away?

So many longings in your heart...
How will you make another start?

Well, the answer is simple, but true...
Jesus laid down His life for one like you
His Blood was real
His Word is true
It all seems too simple...
It’s not that simple,
But He made it simple for you

It was the hardest thing
He ever had to do
He gave it all
To make it simple for you...

Well, the answer is simple, but it’s true...
Jesus laid down His life for one like you
Trust in His Love
Believe it’s True
It all seems too simple...
But He made it simple
His Love is simple and true
