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
