It Ain't Been Easy
E Lyrics

Tell them get up out my face, aye
I want those who are causing problems to leave my presence.

This Christian living hard, yeah it ain't easy
Living as a Christian is difficult and challenging.

But He gon' make the strong out of the weak, aye
God will transform the weak into strong individuals.

That's why I lift my eyes, cause He gives me strength
I look up to God for strength and support.

Please give me the strength to attack the day (Attack the day)
I ask for strength to face the challenges of the day.

Humble me, move my persona out the way (Yeah, out the way)
Help me to be humble and remove any ego or pride.

Give me wisdom for my moves don't let me stray (Don't let me)
Grant me wisdom to make the right decisions and not wander off the right path.

Man be my guidance in the storm so I don't lose the course
Guide me through difficult times so that I don't lose my way.

Thank you for showing me purpose when I felt useless, Lord
I am grateful to God for revealing my purpose when I felt worthless.

I am a broken vessel, I find my healing in the source
I acknowledge that I am broken, but I find my healing in God.

The good things You've done in my life, man I can't ignore
I cannot ignore the blessings and goodness that God has brought into my life.

They want to break me down, but I'll rise up a conqueror
Despite the efforts of others to bring me down, I will overcome and emerge victorious.

I just wanna give thanks
I simply want to express my gratitude.

You keep the roof over me when I can't pay
You provide shelter for me even when I am unable to afford it.

You keep the food coming to my plate, I give You praise
You consistently provide me with food, and I offer my thanks and praise to You.

I don't deserve all that You do for me
I recognize that I am unworthy of the blessings and kindness You bestow upon me.

I don't deserve Your grace
I do not merit or deserve Your unmerited favor.

I thank You for the gift You've given all the people
I express gratitude for the gift of salvation that You have offered to all people.

Against evil
In opposition to wickedness and wrongdoing.

Broke the curse of sin and took all of our shame
Through Jesus, You have freed us from the burden of sin and shame.

You made a bridge over the darkness
You provided a way to overcome darkness and find light and hope.

So that all who would believe and accept the gift
Allowing anyone who believes and receives the gift of salvation.

Can get to Him, who paved the way
Can have access to God, who has cleared the path for us.

I thank You for the people You have placed in my life that are great examples
I express gratitude for the individuals in my life who serve as positive role models.

Showing what it means to be living by faith
Demonstrating the essence of living a life guided by faith in God.

I thank You for the real ones that are walking with me
I am grateful for the genuine individuals who accompany me on my journey.

Making me good company
They contribute to my well-being and make for enjoyable companionship.

The fake ones too that show me what not to be
Even the insincere individuals serve as examples of who I should not emulate.

Keep my people safe (Safe)
Protect and safeguard the individuals important to me.

Help me share Your grace (Grace)
Assist me in spreading Your unmerited favor and love to others.

Give me all the words (Words)
Grant me the right words to communicate effectively.

I'll speak in Your name (Name)
I will speak and act in a way that represents You.

It's all for Your fame (Fame)
All that I do is for the glorification of Your name.

For You alone will reign
You are the only one who will rule and have authority.

Forever in Your kingdom
Eternally residing in Your heavenly domain.

Glory, honor, praise aye
I give glory, honor, and praise to You.

Glory, honor, and praise to the One who one day all knees will bow to
I offer glory, honor, and praise to the One to whom everyone will eventually submit.

The One that one day will gather His chosen and bring them to Heaven
The One who will gather and unite His selected individuals and bring them to the heavenly realm.

The One that made the creation
The One who brought forth everything in existence.

The One who'll heal every nation
The One who will bring healing and restoration to all nations.

The One that I'll keep on praising, aye
I will continue to offer my praises and worship to this One.
