At the hard-knock school of livin', seems you always get there late
Even if you pa** the tests, you never graduate
There's a graveyard out in back that's filled with dreams that crashed and burned
With epitaphs to tragedy and lessons never learned
There is another way besides that school that never ends
But not too many find it – it's a narrow road, my friend
It's the way to trade your old heart in for one that never dies
Where fadin' hopes can live again and dreams can fin'lly fly
Delight yourself in the Lord
And He will give you the desires of your heart
Delight yourself in the Lord
And He will give you the desires of your heart
The heart you'll get from Jesus is spotless and brand new
With the good stuff that was buried by the old one shinin' through
Forgotten seeds'll flourish where those livin' waters flow
In the gentle hands of Jesus all your life will start to grow
It's not that I'm religious, or because I'm rich or smart
But God has more than satisfied the longings of my heart
And I am living proof this simple verse is really true
And what the Lord has done for me, He'd love to do for you.
