Hey, did I hear you say, you've fallen on some hard times'
That your dreams have burst and scattered to the wind
And if there's a someday, when the pain will be forgotten
Right now it's too much for your heart to comprehend

You see you wish that you could get back to the good times
Back when life and love and plans fell into place
Before the floods came, before the dam started breaking
Back when the waves kept there distance from your faith

But in the hard times,
When your world has gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece that matters most
Cause in hard times you learn to hold on to Jesus
For there's no other place to know the strength of your faith,
But in the hard times

Now, in the easy times, you hold on to the calender
and in the easy times, you pick up on your sleep
and in the half times you learn to stop look and listen
And in the clutch you learn to stand and take the heat

But in the hard times,
When your world has gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece that matters most
Cause in hard times you learn to hold on to Jesus
For there's no other place to know the strength of your faith,
But in the hard times
when your world as gone to pieces
You pick up the one piece that matters most
Cause in the hard times you learn to hold on to Jesus
For there's no other place to know the strength of your faith, but in the hard times,
Oh, but in the hard times.
