Story behind the song
I wonder how God has put up with us all these years, and the only answer that makes sense is -- despite everything -- he loves us.
Lyrics
How hard are we to bless, O Lord?
How hard are we to bless?
One day we're groaning in Egypt,
The next we're moaning in the wilderness.
One man crying for sunshine,
Another is begging for rain!
One man's loss and disaster,
Is another's glorious gain!
To bless all people at once, My Lord,
That must be a royal pain!
How hard are we to teach, O Lord?
How hard are we to teach?
You offer wisdom to people,
Left it easily within reach.
You said all we needed to do is ask,
And you would give wisdom to each.
But lust hangs onto our hearts, Lord God,
With the grip of spiritual leech.
So tell me, Lord, how hard are we?
How hard are we to reach?
How hard are we to love, Lord God?
How hard are we to love?
To love us you left heaven,
You came down from the endless above.
To love us you carried our sin and grief,
Your death was the cost of your love.
To love us meant the very life,
Of Jesus your only son!
How hard are we to love, Lord God?
How hard are we to love?
