What The Hard Times Taught Me - Jason Gray

Sometimes it feels like I learned to see in the dark

Like something came together when I fell apart

Getting up again when my knees were skinned

Showed me every end is where you hit restart

I wish there was an easy way

But I found the light in darker days

Yeah

I believe that I’m where you want me

I can see from the place you brought me

There’s so much life in what the hard times taught me

Though it didn’t go the way I planned it

I learned how to live open-handed

I came alive in what the hard times taught me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

Got me where you want me

Where you want me

Only the broken can tell you what healing is

When we’re in need of forgiveness we learn to forgive

There’s no rewind, just crooked lines

But Love is kind, and makes us whole again

I wish there was an easy way

But I found the light in darker days

Yeah

I believe that I’m where you want me

I can see from the place you brought me

There’s so much life in what the hard times taught me

Though it didn’t go the way I planned it

I learned how to live open-handed

I came alive in what the hard times taught me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

(Yeah) Where you want me

Got me where you want me

I’m wiser, and I’m kinder

Than I was before

It broke me, but you woke me

And I thank You Lord

I thank You Lord

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me (Where you want me)

Got me where you want me

What the hard times taught me (I'm where you want me)

Got me where you want me

Got me where you want me

Where you want me
