Hard Lyrics

Hard lyrics

"Well I am a good Midwestern boy 
I give an honest day's work if I can
get it 
I don't cheat on my taxes I don't cheat on my girl 
I've got
values that would make the White House jealous 

Well I do get a little
much over-impressed 
'Til I think of Peter and Paul and the apostles 
I
don't stack up too well against them I guess 
But by the standards 'round
here I ain't doing that awful 

Lord it's hard to turn the other cheek

Hard to bless when others curse you 
Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of
peace 
Lord it's hard ~ oh it's hard 
You know it's hard to be like Jesus

Don't you know it's hard ~ oh it's hard
Oh Lord it's hard to be like
Jesus 

And it's hard to step out on them waves 
Hard to walk beyond
your vision 
Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of faith 
Lord it's hard
(hard) Lord it's hard (so hard)
Oh Lord it's hard to be like Jesus 
Don't
you know it's hard (hard) oh it's hard (yeah hard)
Oh Lord it's hard to be
like Jesus 

Well His eye's on the sparrow 
And the lilies of the
field I've heard 
And He will watch over you and He will watch over me

So we can dress like flowers and eat like birds 

And it's hard when
your soul had been stripped bare 
Hard to lift your eyes toward Heaven

Oh Lord it's hard to be a man of prayer 
Lord it's hard ~ oh it's hard

You know it's hard to be like Jesus 

Lord it's hard to be a man of
peace 
But it's hard (so hard) ~ ain't it hard (hard) 
You know it's hard
to be like Jesus 
Don't you know it's hard (hard) and it's hard (yeah hard)

To be a man of peace (hard so hard) 
But it's hard to be like Jesus


And I'm trying, trying, try 
Oh Lord I try so hard 
Don't you
know it's hard 
Oh glory oh gracious 
But ain't it hard to be like Jesus


Well I am a good Midwestern boy 
I give an honest day's work if I
can get it 
I don't cheat on my taxes I don't cheat on my girl 
I've got
values that would make the White House jealous"
