When Love Is a Hard Thing

One man stood before his brothers
Torn inside like the colors of a coat
Years behind him like a storm were raging
But mercy caused that lump inside his throat

When love is a hard thing to do
And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view
Left within the balance
As the heart and mind fight for what is right
When love is a hard thing to do
Oh, will you?

One woman stood before her king
To live or die, a word upon his lips
She felt the ancient blood flowing warm inside her veins
To her people she was all they had left

When love is a hard thing to do
And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view
Left within the balance
As the heart and mind fight for what is right
When love is a hard thing to do
Woah, will you?

Let go of the bitter
Let go of the pride
And find the sweet surrender
In the One who lived and died for us all

When love is a hard thing to do
And the shadow of the hurtin' only complicates the view
Left within the balance
As the heart and mind fight for what is right
When love is a hard thing to do
When love is a hard thing to do
Woah, will you?
Woah, will you?
