Do Hard Things

w/m Bill and Karen Itzel 9/11/08

He was a man of rare conscience – who knew what was right
With boldness and courage – he led in the fight
When a nation was threatened – a way of life was attacked
When polls called for surrender – he chose to fight back

Chorus
Sometimes it’s better to stand all alone 
than blindly follow the rest
Sometimes the things that are easy aren’t for the best
Sometimes making the popular choice 
isn’t choosing what’s right
But we’re called to do hard things and shine forth the light

He had the face of an angel – yet spoke with no fear
He preached words of truth – they could not bear to hear
They rushed him and stoned him – and thought they had won
But the spread of the gospel – had only begun
You can be the next one – to fight status quo
To rise up above when – expectations are low
Dare to be different – stand up to the test
This world needs a rebel – not more of the rest
