This Is a Hard Teaching

John 6:60 - Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? "This Is a Hard Teaching" Is about when Jesus speaks a truth that confronts my comfort, I choose surrender because His hardest words lead to real life. Thanks for listening. Lyrics I thought I knew the road I wanted, I thought I knew the truth I’d keep. But then You spoke and cut right through me, Pulled the secrets from the deep. You said life comes through surrender, And freedom costs the pride I love. I felt the weight of every word Like fire from above. And I felt my heart resisting, Still You kept calling me near… This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? You ask for everything, not just a part. This is a hard teaching — but I can’t forget it, ’Cause something in Your voice is pulling on my heart. If truth is a sword, then let it cut me open. If love is a fire, then let it burn me clean. This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? Maybe the ones who know they need a King. I’ve walked the roads of easy answers, I’ve chased the comfort of my ways. But every shortcut left me empty, Every promise failed to stay. You said, “Eat this bread of heaven, Drink the life I freely give.” And though my mind can’t understand, My soul knows how to live. So I lay down my defenses, And whisper, “Lord, I’m here…” This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? You ask for everything, not just a part. This is a hard teaching — but I can’t forget it, ’Cause something in Your voice is pulling on my heart. If truth is a sword, then let it cut me open. If love is a fire, then let it burn me clean. This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? Maybe the ones who know they need a King. I don’t want the faith that costs me nothing, I don’t want the life that keeps me bound. If You’re the truth that shakes my world apart, Then shake it to the ground. This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? But where else would I go, Lord, You have life. This is a hard teaching — yet I will confess it: Your hardest words are what make wrong things right. If truth is a sword, then let it cut me open. If love is a fire, then let it burn me clean. This is a hard teaching — who can accept it? I’m saying yes… even when it stings. #Theheartofworship, #rockcover, #worshipmusic, #christianrock, #countrymusic, #country
