Hard To Get |
«You who live in heaven |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth |
Who are afraid of being left by those we love |
And who get hardened by the hurt |
Do you remember when You lived down here where we all scrape |
To find the faith to ask for daily bread |
Did You forget about us after You had flown away |
Well I memorized every word You said |
Still I’m so scared I’m holding my breath |
While You’re up there just playing hard to get |
You who live in radiance |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin |
We have a love that’s not as patient as Yours was |
Still we do love now and then |
Did You ever know loneliness |
Did You ever know need |
Do You remember just how long a night can get? |
When You were barely holding on And Your friends fall asleep |
And don’t see the blood that’s running in Your sweat |
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted |
While You’re up there just playing hard to get? |
And I know you bore our sorrows |
And I know you feel our pain |
And I know it would not hurt any less |
Even if it could be explained |
And I know that I am only lashing out |
At the One who loves me most |
And after I figured this somehow |
All I really need to know |
Is if You who live in eternity |
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time |
We can’t see what’s ahead |
And we can not get free of what we’ve left behind |
I’m reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears |
All the words of shame and doubt blame and regret |
I can’t see how You’re leading me unless You’ve led me here |
Where I’m lost enough to let myself be led |
And so You’ve been here all along I guess |
It’s just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get" |
