This life You've called me to is not like I thought at all
These days I just stay down and save myself the fall
Back then I thought Your will for me would just be mountain tops and sun
But here the laughter and rejection bear me down
I lie awake scared of a future I don't know
By faith I wait for You to lead but You're too slow
It's just not fair that serving You should cost so much and be so hard
I want to follow You but can You clear the way
Make this easy - does it have to be so hard
You could never understand how bad I feel
Make this easy - I did not expect to fail
Take these trials Lord they weren't part of the deal
Head bowed and hands pressed to the rock He prays alone
The tears flow freely from a pain no one has known
He sees the beatings and betrayal that await Him with the sun
And for the first time God the human fees afraid
"Father please take this cup from me," He sobs in prayer
But unlike my selfish pleas doesn't stop there
He sets aside His fear and says, "Yet not My will, but Thine be done"
He took my burden though it was His right to say
Make this easy - I will not suffer for their sake
Let the sinners pay the price for what they've done
Make this easy - I choose not to take the pain
I guess I thought this Savior thing would be more fun
How do we dare to make a sound about our burdens
Compared to Jesus' burden we're not justified
So saturated with self pity we ask Him to ease the load
Though what He asks isn't the half of what He suffered when He died
Make this easy - does it have to be so hard
You could never understand how bad I feel
Make this easy - I did not expect to fail
Take these trials Lord they weren't part of the deal
