Hard Times

God, what’re we gonna do?
I really don’t have a clue
Money is tight and food is gone
I don’t know how we can go on.

But I’ve worked so hard and so long
I don’t feel like it’s made me strong
Forgive me if I’ve done something wrong
I’d really like to get back my song

Lord, give me hope, or maybe a sign
That I can hold up near Highway 9
Give me some dreams I can fulfill
That come true with an iron will

Wash me in water, make me like new
Take away the things making me blue
Give me some joy in the mundane
Lord, I need something to stay sane

Hard times, Tough times
Help us walk a straight line
You give us a greater grace
Between a rock and hard place
The days and nights
These hard times.

If you don’t take the awful things
Can you provide me angels wings
Lift me above the clouds today
Show me the plan, show me the way

Problems never did come to stay
I guess I’ll trust You come what may
If You wouldn’t mind to hurry a bit
I don’t want to take much more of it

Surely it gets better after while
I don’t know if I still have a smile
Lord, you know what you’re doing
I must need a renewing.

Hard times, Tough times
Help us walk a straight line
You give us a greater grace
Between a rock and hard place
The days and nights
These hard times.
