Love Isn't Easy

about

This song displays a longing for more understanding of what Love is. It is the beginning of a journey God began in me to simply show more clearly how to come closer to Him. While this is happening, I begin to see how unwilling I really am to give up what I must in order for His love to truly change me. It reveals the battle between the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and the sin within me.

lyrics

Little by little
These riddles get bigger
The more I wait
Caught in the middle of simpler wishes
And other ways
I want to change it
But it's hard
‘Cause there's a wall here
In my heart

Living on these feelings
Holding on to secrets

I'm running here in the open
But I'm hiding from Your view
You gave me a weight I can't hold
But I'm still hanging on to You
Love isn't easy to do
Love isn't easy with You

Living and breathing
And making up reasons to change my mind
Seconds into minutes into temporary seasons
Of "this is why"
I want to change this
But it's hard
‘Cause there's a wall here
In my heart

Living on these feelings
Holding on to secrets

I'm running here in the open
But I'm hiding from Your view
You gave me a weight I can't hold
But I'm still hanging on to You
Love isn't easy to do
Love isn't easy with You

‘Cause the closer that I get to letting go
I grow
But the more I grow the more I must let go

I'm running here in the open
But I'm still hiding from Your view
You gave me a weight I can't hold
But I'm still hanging on to You
Love isn't easy to do
Love isn't easy with You

Hi. We're a band of friends who write and play music together. We started in December of 2009.
The music we make is always changing as we grow. As we grow, the reflection of that growth shows in our writing. We can't control how you receive it when you listen, but when you do, just know that we pray it would be a blessing to help you grow closer in your walk with God through Jesus Christ. ... more
