[00:01.12] Phil Stacey - Hard To Get
[00:05.89]
[00:19.80] You who live in Heaven
[00:22.98] Hear the prayers of those of us who live on Earth
[00:28.79] Who are afraid of being left by those we love
[00:34.15] And who get hardened by the hurt
[00:38.11]
[00:39.33] Do you remember when You lived down here
[00:43.94] where we all scrape
[00:45.89] To find the faith to ask for daily bread
[00:52.28] Did You forget about us after You had flown away
[00:58.99] Well, I memorized every word You said
[01:05.62]
[01:05.98] Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
[01:12.33] While You're up there just playing hard to get
[01:18.53]
[01:22.21] Do You who live in radiance
[01:25.19] Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
[01:31.18] We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
[01:36.61] Still we do love now and then
[01:39.92]
[01:41.47] Did You ever know loneliness
[01:45.17] Did You ever know need
[01:48.10] Do You remember just how long a night can get
[01:54.72] When You are barely holding on
[01:58.31] And Your friends fall asleep
[02:01.49] Don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat
[02:06.89]
[02:08.38] Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
[02:14.80] While You're up there just playing hard to get
[02:20.56]
[02:22.66] And I know You bore our sorrows
[02:29.09] And I know You feel our pain
[02:36.23] And I know that it would not hurt any less
[02:41.67] Even if it could be explained
[02:47.16]
[02:48.98] And I know that I am only lashing out
[02:55.43] At the One who loves me most
[03:00.81] And after I have figured this somehow
[03:08.23] All I really need to know
[03:13.77]
[03:14.12] Is if You who live in eternity
[03:16.85] Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time
[03:23.03] We cannot see what's ahead
[03:25.81] And we cannot get free from what we've left behind
[03:33.16]
[03:33.54] I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ear
[03:40.11] All these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
[03:46.65] I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here
[03:53.04] To where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
[03:59.55]
[04:03.38] And so You've been here all along, I guess
[04:09.02] It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
[04:19.15]
