A simple man of simple dreams

He built His life on ordinary things

Worked the land as if it were His friend

His words live within me to the end



Give more than you have taken

Love most the ones forsaken



Simple heartbeat in me until I can see

A simple heart will set me free to let extraordinary things

Flow through this ordinary heart of simplicity



It was a simple thing for a boy like me

To pray a prayer and then believe

Those were simple times, how times change

Boys grow up and life complicates



I am older but am I wiser?

Has my simple heart grown colder?



Oh, simple heartbeat in me until I can see

A simple heart will set me free to let extraordinary things

Flow through this ordinary heart of simplicity



He was a simple man of simple means

The simple truth is that He was the king

He leads us down the narrow way

That is only seen with a child's faith



Simple heartbeat in me until I can see

A simple heart will set me free to let extraordinary things

Flow through this ordinary heart



Oh, simple heartbeat in me until I can see

A simple heart will set me free to let extraordinary things

Flow through this ordinary heart of simplicity

Let it flow through me, oh
