about

This song and the next have always gone hand in hand. It’s one of the paradoxes of truth that God always requires more of us than we could ever produce without him. It’s his way of keeping us close.

lyrics

When I first started to follow you
I thought it would be easy to do
All the songs that I sang along gave me a rosy hue
But I’m finding life a lot different
Than all the sweet songs that we sing
‘Cause I learn that at every turn
Your road’s the hardest thing

You drive a hard, hard line
Thought I’d have an easier time
Oh you drive a hard line
Guess I gotta change my mind

I find myself loving people
Who in turn are loving to me
But what you ask is a greater task
To love my enemy
Like the one who has hurt me
And cut me down to the shreds
That’s the guy I’m supposed to try
To love instead

You drive a hard, hard line
Thought I’d have an easier time
Oh you drive a hard line
Guess I gotta change my mind

When I examine my actions
My life seems decent to me
But one look of lust
And you say I’m thrust into adultery
And if I’m hating my brother
And putting him down in my head
The angry thought is like a rifle shot
He’s as good as dead

You drive a hard hard line
Thought I’d have an easier time
Oh you drive a hard line
Guess I gotta change my mind
