PLAIN AND SIMPLE WORDS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on the words of John Bunyan

I was blind but now I see
take the Word most literally
he believes who will be saved
take these words unto my grave

God reveals the Word to all
from the truth there is no wall
even babies see the light
no man can tell you what is right

these are plain and simple words
these are truths that can be heard
rising like a cloud of birds
these are plain and simple words

a wise man can be just like a fool
a fool can be wise before God
the world itself shall be our school
and salvation can't be bought

I was told they'd kill me dead
for the things that I have said
but I told them I'd not budge
judge not lest ye shall be judged

these are plain and simple words
these are truths that I have learned
though they jail me flesh doth burn
these are plain and simple words

I was sent to prison vile
asking God if this should be
but I spoke as if a child
as they took my liberty

but in jail I sang of praise
many spirits I did raise
this is what I'm meant to do
this is what God called me to

these are plain and simple words
hallelujah has occurred
I was born for He I serve
these are plain and simple words
