The Hardest Thing to Say (demo)

lyrics

It’s hard to hear that I need saving, it’s hard to hear
It’s hard to hear that I need saving,
I’d rather hear that I am perfect just the way I am
there isn’t any master plan, and the only sin is not to follow what I feel

It’s hard to hear we’re in a battle, it’s hard to hear
It’s hard to hear we’re in a battle,
I’d rather hear that there’s no hell, no heaven after death
Just the body and the breath
and the devil’s just as real as you let him be
and God’s the deepest part of you and me

It’s hard to say, “I’ll follow Jesus”, it’s hard to say
I’d like to say, “I’ll follow Jesus”,
but sometimes his words just make my hair stand up on end
I’ve spent a lifetime pleasing friends
and looking for a life that pleases me
Working for a kingdom I can see

Preacher says a broken bone
if it grows together wrong
must be broken and re-set to truly heal
I can hear his aching groans
echo in this heart of stone
and I offer up a prayer from where I kneel
When I stand again, set me on a path that’s real!

It’s so hard to say “I’m sorry”, it’s hard to say
It’s so hard to say “I’m sorry”, it’s hard to say
It’s so hard to say “I’m sorry”,
it’s easier to say I was just made this way
don’t tell me that I’ve gone astray
and everything behind me turns to gray
and everything inside me turns to gray
and all that lies before me turns to gray
until I say the hardest thing to say
