Hard

(专辑： A Liturgy A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band - 1993)

Well I am a good Midwestern boy
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
I don't cheat on my taxes I don't cheat on my girl
I've got values that would make the White House jealous

Well I do get a little much over-impressed
'Til I think of Peter and Paul and the apostles
I don't stack up too well against them I guess
But by the standards 'round here I ain't doing that awful

Lord it's hard to turn the other cheek
Hard to bless when others curse you
Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of peace
Lord it's hard.. oh it's hard
You know it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard.. oh it's hard
Oh Lord it's hard to be like Jesus

And it's hard to step out on them waves
Hard to walk beyond your vision
Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of faith
Lord it's hard (hard) Lord it's hard (so hard)
Oh Lord it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard (hard) oh it's hard (yeah hard)
Oh Lord it's hard to be like Jesus

Well His eye's on the sparrow
And the lilies of the field I've heard
And He will watch over you and He will watch over me
So we can dress like flowers and eat like birds

And it's hard when your soul had been stripped bare
Hard to lift your eyes toward Heaven
Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of prayer
Lord it's hard.. oh it's hard
You know it's hard to be like Jesus

Lord it's hard to be a man of peace
But it's hard (so hard).. ain't it hard (hard)
You know it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard (hard) and it's hard (yeah hard)
To be a man of peace (hard so hard)
But it's hard to be like Jesus

And I'm trying, trying, try
Oh Lord I try so hard
Don't you know it's hard
Oh glory oh gracious
But ain't it hard to be like Jesus

Well I am a good Midwestern boy
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
I don't cheat on my taxes I don't cheat on my girl
I've got values that would make the White House jealous
