02. A Harder Place

JavaBird
by Jerry Akin

Lyrics:

Enough with this illusion that my life had some solution of its own.
The only thing that works inside my self is just a switch that You turned on.
I used to think I was just a pearl,
Caught up in my little world
Like a shellfish;
Insincere to someone else
Sincerely into what I felt,
I was selfish.
But then it all got turned around
The night I came around and saw Your face.
Before I met You I was stuck,
Stuck between a rock and a harder place

I put away my valuables, collectables, and every kind of thing
‘Cause when I left to follow You, You told me that my cross was all I’d bring.
And the disappearing act of just appearing to act distant from my peers
Has become an authenticity as I’m no longer in that sea of tears.
Lookin’ back at that stompin’ ground and the time I spent, I’ve found it all a waste.
Before I met you I was stuck,
Stuck between a rock and a harder place.

CHORUS:
And it’s a wonder that my soul survived.
But I pulled the plug, and I came alive.
Oh it took me years, but I found my place.
‘Cause you rescued me from a harder place.

Let’s hold on tight and buckle up, keep moving, don’t get stuck along the road.
But never let us pass on by the high and dry
Who need a lighter load.
For everyone of us can say we’ve all been lost along the way, no doubt;
So heart to God and hand to man, our Master Plan demands we help them out.
We were all like sheep astray until we got picked up by way of grace.
Before You found us, we were stuck,
Stuck between a rock and a harder place.

(Repeat Chorus)
