The Hard Way w/m Bill and Karen Itzel 9/11/09
They stood on the edge of the promised land just like 40 years ago They finally learned their lesson to have faith when God said “Go” For 40 years they felt the desert sand beneath their feet But this time would be different, they would not again retreat Israel learned the hard way To ignore God has its cost And obedience the first time Means blessings won’t be lost Chorus I choose today which road I'll take The easy way or the hard way The blessings will change but His mercy remains The easy way or the hard way I stand before a crossroad every single day One path would lead to blessing if I just choose His way But in my pride and arrogance I follow my own track And it often takes His disciplining hand to bring me back I have learned the hard way That sin will have its cost And obedience the first time Means blessings won’t be lost |  |
