Shake cover
09. The Hard Way
Album: Shake
Artist: John Schlitt
         
 

I see the mountains and the valleys to cross
And I wonder am I able
My heart starts pounding as I cound the cost
Am I ready, will I be faithful
Sometimes it's so hard for me
To live the way I believe
But I will not forsake Him

[Chorus 1]
I know who I am
I know where I've been
I know sometimes love takes the hard way
There's no giving up
There's no giving in
I know sometimes love takes the hard way

His anguish echoed against a dark sky
All of heaven watched in silence
And from that mountain He looked through dim eyes
As the world mocked the Messiah
He crossed that valley alone
Exchanged His life for my soul
He would not forsake me

[Chorus 2]
I know who I am
I know where I've been
I know sometimes love takes the hard way
There's no turning back
There's no giving in
I know sometimes love takes the hard way

For now, forever, I take my stand
I place my whole life in Your hands

[Chorus 1] x2
[Chorus 2]

Tom Wanca, Mark H. Chesshir (John 3:16 15:13; Proverbs 3:12 16:6a)
