1. I was just reading in Your Word,
The part about denying ourselves,
Giving up everything to follow You-
Don’t you think that’s a little harsh
|
4. You know, I’ve had a hard life, Lord
There are so many things that I can’t do.
Do You really expect me to overcome,
And to someday be like You?
Chorus
|
CHORUS:
Did You mean it, Lord?
Did You really mean what You said?
Couldn’t You give us an easier way
To follow You each day?
|
5. Lord, can’t You see it’s not done that way,
In the world we live in today?
If You don’t change Your ideas, Lord,
A lot of folks will turn away.
Chorus
|
2. You know, I have just this one little thing,
I’d really like to do,
It wouldn’t hurt much of anyone,
And I’d still follow you.
Chorus
|
6. Well, if You’re not going to change Your mind,
Then I guess I’ll have to decide-
Shall I give up everything and follow You,
Or follow the world and die?
Chorus
|
3. Just look at all these people, Lord,
Doing such terrible things,
I can understand You telling them,
But things are different for me?
Chorus
|
7. I guess You really mean it, Lord,
You really mean what you say.
You could have chosen an easier way,
But You gave up Your life for me.
Yes, You mean it Lord!
And I’m so glad You do!
Thank You, Lord, for telling me the truth,
‘Cause the truth has set me free!!
