But Then Jesus

I don't think I can go there,

Lord it's too many miles,

I'd get too tired and worn,

But then: Jesus was put on trial.



It's just too hard to understand.

Can I ever break this code?

IT's beyond my abilities,

But then: Jesus walked down the road.



To learn and grow is not easy,

Sometimes my heart feels like it's ripped.

It's just too painful to change,

But then: Jesus bore being whipped.



What you're asking is too much,

I am sure the task I will fail,

I'm not sure I can take the pain,

But then: Jesus hands and feet bore the nail.



The task You have given me,

Seems beyond my skills to grasp,

The stretching beyond my limits hurts,

But then: Jesus a last breath, for me gasped.



The road seems long and hard,

But nothing compared to Jesus gift,

So work and struggle for God I'll do,

So then: My praises to Jesus I'll lift!
