Rich Mullins - Hatching Of The Heart Lyrics
Rich MullinsYou who live in heavenHear the prayers of those of us who live on earthWho are afraid of being left by those we loveAnd who get hardened by the hurtDo you remember when You lived down here where we all scrapeTo find the faith to ask for daily breadDid You forget about us after You had flown awayWell I memorized every word You saidStill I'm so scared, I'm holding my breathWhile You're up there just playing hard to getYou who live in radianceHear the prayers of those of us who live in skinWe have a love that's not as patient as Yours wasStill we do love now and thenDid You ever know lonelinessDid You ever know needDo You remember just how long a night can get?When You were barely holding onAnd Your friends fall asleepAnd don't see the blood that's running in Your sweatWill those who mourn be left uncomfortedWhile You're up there just playing hard to get?And I know you bore our sorrowsAnd I know you feel our painAnd I know it would not hurt any lessEven if it could be explainedAnd I know that I am only lashing outAt the One who loves me mostAnd after I figured this, somehowAll I really need to knowIs if You who live in eternityHear the prayers of those of us who live in timeWe can't see what's aheadAnd we can not get free of what we've left behindI'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my earsAll the words of shame and doubt, blame and regretI can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me hereWhere I'm lost enough to let myself be ledAnd so You've been here all along I guessIt's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
