"HARD BREAK"
Verse 1:
My head is bruised and my hands and feet are strained
Can I keep walking, or is my lifeblood drained
Too many questions flood my purest thought
The innocenceof my heart is stained with bitter ought
Repeat beginning riff open on 7th
Verse 2:
Though I can’t go on and it’s impossible to see
I must find a way through the clouds ahead of me
I may lack courage but there’s a force that makes me stronger
And when I’m weak it helps me to stick it out much longer
Chorus:
What in the world did they live on for forty days and forty nights?
What gave them the strength back then to use a jawbone and win 1000 fights?
Not a bed of roses from Elijah to Moses
You cannot live by bread alone.
It’s Jesus himself, and He has given me help
To rise above this, with His wings I’ve flown
You can. You can make it through Me. 3 x
Repeat beginning riff open on 7th
Verse 3:
It seems much harder now, there’s a test at every turn
I wasn’t always aware of how much I have to learn
But as the pressure mounts the weapons in my hands
Are even stronger than each crisis demands
Repeat Chorus
You can. You can make it through Me. 2 x
Repeat beginning riff open on 7th
Though I may be weak 4x
Verse 4:
So though I may be weak I found the key
To ensure the serpent does not get the best of me
I can’t save myself and to temptation I give in
But through Jesus I have the power to win.
Repeat Chorus
You can. You can make it through Me. 3x
