歌詞

I grew up in the void place south of Heaven Couldn't find the Lord to save my life Then I realized the trouble is I wasn't lookin' Oh if you don't seek How can you expect to find So I talked to the Man I said whats the deal now He was kind and he said You know the way Then I reached into my soul and bought a one way ticket The only price I paid was some friends who often say Oh no here he comes and he's got religion Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear But I say Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears Well I have to admit that my conversation Gets around to the message of my song Tell me how can we go out and teach all nations If we haven't heard the lesson here at home And I guess when your life's been blessed like mine has You just naturally want to let others know So my friend if we meet by the gates of Glory I wanna be the one to say I told you so Oh no here he comes and he's got religion Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear But I say Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears Oh no here he comes and he's got religion Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear But I say Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears Oh no here he comes and he's got religion Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear But I say Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears
