Rich Mullins

'Cause the world can't stand what it can't own And it can't own You 'Cause You did not have a home

And You rode an ass' foal They spread their coats and cut down palms For You and Your donkey to walk upon But the world won't find what it thinks it wants On the back of an ass' foal So I guess You had to get sold

Lord, it's hard, oh it's hard, You know it's hard to be like Jesus Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard, Oh Lord, it's hard to be like Jesus

Those who believe Although their foolish hearts may break They will find peace And I’ll meet you in that place Where mercy leads

Let mercy lead Let love be the strength in your legs And in every footprint that you leave There'll be a drop of grace If we can reach Beyond the wisdom of this age Into the foolishness of God That foolishness will save

But I was twelve years old in the meeting house Listening to the old men pray And I was tryin' hard to figure out What it was that they was tryin' to say There You were in the temple They said You weren't old enough To know the things You knew

When the old world started dying And the new world started coming on And I'll sing His song, and I'll sing His song In the land of my sojourn

And the countryside was pocked With all of those mail pouch posters Thrown up on the rotting sideboards of These rundown stables like the one that Christ was born in

Had so much fun talking about Rich Mullins with Dr. Ashley on the @MixtapeTheology podcast! The episode is out now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mix…

Though we're strangers, still I love you

‘Cause I've been broken now, I've been saved I've learned to cry, and I've learned how to pray And I'm learning, I'm learning even I can be changed

Save me from trendy religion that makes Cheap cliches out of timeless truths Lord save me, please save me

Now this love is the biggest part of the world You brought me to And the universe looks kinder from a brightened point of view Now I'm wanting to fly and there's nothing to stop me 'Cause I know that You love me And You call me to rise up and follow You

So I guess You had to get sold 'Cause the world can't stand what it can't own And it can't own You 'Cause You did not have a home

And You rode and ass' foal They spread their coats and cut down palms For You and Your donkey to walk upon But the world won't find what it thinks it wants On the back of an ass' foal
