This morning I picked up a paper
I read about tragedy I stopped and
I realized that it could`ve been me oh oh
That could`ve been my mother
Or maybe even my big brother
But you kept them just like you kept me
I want to tell you that
[Chorus:]
God has smiled on me
He has set me free
God has smiled on
He has been good to me
Now I`ve been through some things that
I thought were unnecessarily
Were way too much to carry
All by myself
Yeah! But you gave me strength to
Make it through
I thought I couldn`t take it
Feels so good to know that you care
Yeah, yeah, yeah, God
[Chorus]
So glad I know you
Glad you`re my friend
Whenever I need you
You`re always near
You don`t have to be so good to me
But you keep on smiling
[Chorus]
