The Easy Road

(Verse 1) They were called… they were chosen… Given ground… a promised land… But fear whispered… “take it easy”… So they fled… from Your hand… (Verse 2) They were told… rise and take the hill… But they turned… to the valley still… Saw the walls… weak and small… So they followed… the comfort call… They built peace… on borrowed ground… Took a town… that made no sound… But easy roads… slowly bend… Toward a place… You never planned… (Pre-Chorus) Every step… away from You… Feels safe… until the truth… What seems right… in human eyes… Leads our hearts… to compromise… (Chorus) We won’t take the easy road… That leads our hearts astray… We won’t chase the quiet lie… That steals our faith away… Give us strength… give us fire… To walk Your narrow way… We choose to follow You always… We choose You… come what may… (Verse 3) They took idols… into their halls… Silent prayers… empty calls… Built their hope… on what they made… Trading truth… for fragile faith… What they feared… became their chain… What they chose… became their pain… Still Your mercy… called their name… Still You offered… life again… (Build) Tear the idols… from our hands… Shake the ground… where we stand… Turn our hearts… back to You… We want truth… we want You… (Pre-Chorus 2) Better war… with You beside… Than silent peace… where faith goes to die… (Chorus) We won’t take the easy road… That leads our hearts astray… We won’t chase the quiet lie… That steals our faith away… Give us strength… give us fire… To walk Your narrow way… We choose to follow You always… We choose You Jesus… come what may… (Bridge) We will climb… though our legs shake… We will trust… though our hearts ache… We will fight… for promised ground… We will not… lay our calling down… If You say go… we will move… If You say stay… we will choose… Every breath… every plan… In Your hands… in Your hands… (Breakdown) Not our will… but Yours alone… Jesus Lead us... where we belong... (Final Chorus) We won’t take the easy road… That leads our hearts astray… We won’t chase the quiet lie… That steals our faith away… Give us strength… give us fire… To walk Your narrow way… We choose to follow You always… We choose You Jesus… come what may… (Outro) Come what may… We choose You…Jesus Come what may…
