“Note to God” is a song written by Diane Warren and first recorded by American R&B singer JoJo in 2006 for her album The High Road. “Note to God” is partly an emotional prayer. The lyrics are composed of things that would be written in a letter to God.
[Verse 1]
If I wrote a note to God
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
And for love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
Pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for wars to end and for peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say, I'd say
[Chorus]
"Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is goin' wrong
On this road we're on"
[Verse 2]
If I wrote a note to God
I would say what's on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
And heal these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say, "Please help us find our way
End all the bitterness
Put some tenderness in our hearts"
And I'd say, I'd say, I'd say
[Chorus]
"Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is goin' wrong
On this road we're on"
[Bridge]
No, no, no
We can't do it on our own
So, so
[Chorus]
Give us the strength to make to make it through (Make it through)
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue (Is overdue)
And it looks like we haven't got a clue (Got a clue)
Need some help from you (From you)
Grant us the faith to carry on (Carry on)
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone (Hope is gone)
'Cause it seems like so much is going wrong (Going wrong)
On this road we're on
[Outro]
