Hard

Psalm 73/Matthew 19:13-26
       C     G	     D	     Em
Well I am a good midwestern boy
	   C		G	     D7
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
	  C	     G		     D		Em
I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my girl
	 C		    G	     D7
I've got values that would make the White House jealous

Well I do get a little much over impressed
'Til I think of Peter and Paul and the apostles
I don't stack up too well against them I guess
But by the standards 'round here I ain't doin' that awful

	   C/G	   G	   D	  Em    	 Bm		    C
Lord it's hard to turn the other cheek, hard to bless when others curse you
	   G	 B7/D# Em      A7
Lord it's hard to be a man of peace
	   G	         D	            Bm7    	C      C/D G
Lord it's hard, oh it's hard, you know it's hard to be like Jesus
 	              G	      D 	Bm7     C      C/D G
Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus

And it's hard to step out on them waves, hard to walk beyond your vision
Lord it's hard to be a man of faith
Lord it's hard, Lord it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard, oh Lord it's hard to be like Jesus

	 Dm7		G7
Well His eye is on the sparrow
	  E7			  Am  C7/G
And the lilies of the field I've heard
	     F			        C/E
And He will watch over you and He will watch over me
	  B7	      E7	 A7	  D7
So we can dress like flowers and eat like birds

And it's hard when your soul has been stripped bare
Hard to lift your eyes toward heaven
Lord it's hard to be a man of prayer
Lord it's hard, oh it's hard, you know it's hard to be like Jesus
  G          D   Em     Bm7        C2

Lord it's hard to be a man of peace
Lord it's hard, ain't it hard, you know it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard, and it's hard, ...like Jesus (to be man of peace)
Hard, so hard, but it's hard to be like Jesus (And I try, try, try)
Hard, (oh Lord I try) so hard,...like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard, so hard, ...like Jesus (oh Lord I)
Hard, (oh gracious) so hard, but ain't it hard to be like Jesus

Well I am a good midwestern boy
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my girl
I've got values that would make the White House jealous
