[Verse 1]
Tongue tied, nerves as big as boulders
Why, mom? I thought I was your soldier

(Voicemail):
3:15 AM
If my path be smooth or rugged
If with thorns or roses strewn
Where I go, the Father see'eth
And He will leave me not alone
If I take the wings of morning
Far within the giant sea
Even there, His hand will leave me
Even there, my God will be
Though the gloom of night be 'round me
Though I cannot see my way
Yet the Lord will see and guide me
Because unto Him, the night is day
If my thoughts are good or evil
Set me think to hide them not
There is one, above all, seeing
And He beholdeth every thought
And ever more my eyes behold me
And all my ways to Him are known
And His loving arms enfold me
He will leave me not alone
