    Hard to Get
    (words & music by Rich Mullins)
    You who live in heaven
    Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth?
    Who are afraid of being left by those we love
    Who get hardened in the hurt
    Do you remember when You lived down here?
    Where we all scraped
    To find the faith to ask the daily bread
    Did You forget about us
    After You had flown away?
    Well, I memorized every word You said
    Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
    While You're up there just playing hard to get
    You who live in radiance
    Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin?
    We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
    But still we do love now and then
    Did You ever know loneliness?
    You ever know need?
    You remember just how long a night can get?
    When You are barely holdin' on
    And Your friends fall asleep
    Who don't see the blood that's runnin' in Your sweat
    Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
    While You're up there just playin' hard to get?
    And I know You bore our sorrows
    And I know You feel our pain
    And I know that it would not hurt any less
    Even if it could be explained
    And I know that I am only lashing out
    At the One who loves me most
    And after I have figured this song out
    What I really need to know
    Is if You who live in eternity
    Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time?
    We can't see what's ahead
    And we cannot get free from what we've left behind
    I'm reeling from these voices that keep screamin' in my ears
    All these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
    I can't see how You're leading me
    Unless You've led me here
    To where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
    And so You've been here all along, I guess
    It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
