Oh Lord, it isn’t easy
What you’re calling me to be
Thought that I could say a prayer, then
Sit back—watch you set me free
But now I see you’re calling me
To live my life so radically
Isn’t there another way
That doesn’t ask so much of me?
What have I got myself into?
This narrow road’s more than I can do
Why didn’t someone say to me
This is a way of life
And it isn’t easy
Oh Lord, this isn’t saying
That I will give up on You
It’s just that I’d been told this faith means
One decision and I’m through
So what if we changed strategy?
And sold our faith on something true
Say this faith’s a way of life
It’s hard but it’s worth going through
What have I got myself into?
This narrow road’s more than I can do
Why didn’t someone say to me
This is a way of life
And it isn’t easy
