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]
