Phil Stacey - Hard To Get |
| [00:05.89] |
|
| [00:19.80] |
You who live in Heaven |
| [00:22.98] |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on Earth |
| [00:28.79] |
Who are afraid of being left by those we love |
| [00:34.15] |
And who get hardened by the hurt |
| [00:38.11] |
|
| [00:39.33] |
Do you remember when You lived down here |
| [00:43.94] |
where we all scrape |
| [00:45.89] |
To find the faith to ask for daily bread |
| [00:52.28] |
Did You forget about us after You had flown away |
| [00:58.99] |
Well, I memorized every word You said |
| [01:05.62] |
|
| [01:05.98] |
Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath |
| [01:12.33] |
While You're up there just playing hard to get |
| [01:18.53] |
|
| [01:22.21] |
Do You who live in radiance |
| [01:25.19] |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin |
| [01:31.18] |
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was |
| [01:36.61] |
Still we do love now and then |
| [01:39.92] |
|
| [01:41.47] |
Did You ever know loneliness |
| [01:45.17] |
Did You ever know need |
| [01:48.10] |
Do You remember just how long a night can get |
| [01:54.72] |
When You are barely holding on |
| [01:58.31] |
And Your friends fall asleep |
| [02:01.49] |
Don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat |
| [02:06.89] |
|
| [02:08.38] |
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted |
| [02:14.80] |
While You're up there just playing hard to get |
| [02:20.56] |
|
| [02:22.66] |
And I know You bore our sorrows |
| [02:29.09] |
And I know You feel our pain |
| [02:36.23] |
And I know that it would not hurt any less |
| [02:41.67] |
Even if it could be explained |
| [02:47.16] |
|
| [02:48.98] |
And I know that I am only lashing out |
| [02:55.43] |
At the One who loves me most |
| [03:00.81] |
And after I have figured this somehow |
| [03:08.23] |
All I really need to know |
| [03:13.77] |
|
| [03:14.12] |
Is if You who live in eternity |
| [03:16.85] |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time |
| [03:23.03] |
We cannot see what's ahead |
| [03:25.81] |
And we cannot get free from what we've left behind |
| [03:33.16] |
|
| [03:33.54] |
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ear |
| [03:40.11] |
All these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret |
| [03:46.65] |
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here |
| [03:53.04] |
To where I'm lost enough to let myself be led |
| [03:59.55] |
|
| [04:03.38] |
And so You've been here all along, I guess |
| [04:09.02] |
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get |
| [04:19.15] |
