Hard to Get by Rich Mullin, A Powerful and Insightful Prayer

Hard to Get by Rich Mullin Hard to Get, by Rich Mullin A Powerful and Insightful Prayer This is one of my favorite songs! Especially today in these chaotic times people often ask, "Where is God?" "Has He abandoned us?" "Does He care?" -- He's been here all along! Trust in God. He has not abandoned those who seek Him in faith. Some people point their fingers and chide, "If you REALLY believed you would not...." Some even say that God hates these or those people... But as Mr. Mullin sings, "I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here. Trust in God. He has not abandoned those who seek Him in faith. No matter what others might say. The strength of religious faith is seen by the love it invokes, not in judgmentalism and condemnation. Trust in God. He has not abandoned those who seek Him in faith. I John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love Wherever you are in your life, God is there with you. Even though at times He seem to be so hard to get... Hard To Get Hard to Get by Rich Mullin You who live in heaven Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth Who are afraid of being left by those we love And who get hardened by the hurt Do you remember when You lived down here where we all scrape To find the faith to ask for daily bread Did You forget about us after You had flown away Well I memorized every word You said Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath While You're up there just playing hard to get You who live in radiance Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was Still we do love now and then Did You ever know loneliness Did You ever know need Do You remember just how long a night can get? When You were barely holding on And Your friends fall asleep And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat Will those who mourn be left uncomforted While You're up there just playing hard to get? And I know you bore our sorrows And I know you feel our pain And I know it would not hurt any less Even if it could be explained And I know that I am only lashing out At the One who loves me most And after I figured this, somehow All I really need to know Is if You who live in eternity Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time We can't see what's ahead And we can not get free of what we've left behind I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led And so You've been here all along I guess It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get Children Of Noah All The Noahide Nazarene Way AllFaith.com: Judaism AllFaith.com: Christianity Thus Says the Prophets!
