Hard times make a hardened man, when you try too much for the upper hand,
There's no staying in control; sooner or later you'll learn to let go,
Sure, it's gonna kill your pride - that's the way it goes,
Sure, you'll want to run when hide when it hurts...hurts to grow.

Humble yourself under the Father's hand,
Hearts that are broken come to understand they're the strong ones in the long run,
Oh, you can't break a broken heart.

Hard times make a broken man, and you learn to cry, then you learn to stand,
Strength comes under God's control, and the tides of chance will not shake your soul,
Sure, it's gonna kill your pride - that's the way it goes,
Sure, you'll want to run when hide when it hurts...hurts to grow.

Humble yourself under the Father's hand,
Hearts that are broken come to understand they're the strong ones in the long run,
Oh, you can't break a broken heart.

Praise the Lord, praise him, praise him,
In everything, praise him, whoa, praise him.

Set your eyes on his light when your path is dim,
Let everything come to you through him.

Humble yourself under the Father's hand,
Hearts that are broken come to understand they're the strong ones in the long run,
Oh, you can't...you can't...you can't break a broken heart.

Praise the Lord, praise him, praise him,
In everything, praise him, whoa, praise him.
