Hard Times

Hey, did I hear you say
You've fallen on some hard times?
That your dreams are crushed
And scattered to the wind
And if there's a someday
When the pain will be forgotten
Right now, it's too much
For your heart to comprehend

You say you wish that you
Could get back to the good times
Back when life and love
And plans fell into place
Before the floods came
Before the dam started breaking
Back when the waves kept their distance
From your faith

But in the hard times
When your world has gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece
That matters most
'Cause in hard times
You learn to hold on to Jesus
Oh, there's no other place
To know the strength of your faith
But in the hard times

Now in the busy times
You hold on to the calendar
Then in the easy times
You pick up on your sleep
And in the half times
You learn to stop, look and listen
Then in the clutch you learn
To stand and take the heat, yeah

Oh, but in the hard times
When your world has gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece
That matters most
'Cause in hard times
You learn to hold on to Jesus
Oh, there's no other place
To know the strength of your faith

But in the hard times
When your world as gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece
That matters most
'Cause in hard times
You learn to hold on to Jesus
Oh, there's no other place
To know the strength of your faith
But in the hard times
Oh, but in the hard times, mmm...
