A Hard Lesson Lyrics

Hey you, down by the water

Quit your job and follow me

Leave your spouse, your son, your daughter

I'll be your family

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

Lord, have mercy

Hey you, wealthy and respected

Sell all you have and follow me

Give back all that you've collected

I am all you need

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

Lord, have mercy

No one can serve two masters, this much is true

You will love the one and hate the other. You've gotta choose

To empty your hands, so you can pick up a cross

Hey you, climbing up the ladder

Start at the bottom and follow me

Don't you know those trophies are your fetters

I can set you free

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

Lord, have mercy

No one can serve two masters, this much is true

You will love the one and hate the other. You've gotta choose

Oh if you want to be my disciple, one thing to do

Leave it all behind for the sake of the gospel

These are the plans I have for you

To empty your hands, so you can pick up a cross

Empty your hands, so you can pick up a cross

Hey you, living in the suburbs

Forfeit the race and follow me

I don't promise prosperity or comfort

Only eternity

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

Lord, have mercy

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

This is a hard lesson

Lord, have mercy

Woah

Woah
