The hardest thing I ever loved to do was letting go of everything I
Ever knew nineteen years of dreams left in my room as I buttoned up
The jacket of my suit And the hardest word I've ever loved to say
Was goodbye to my mom and walk
Away choking on my tie and on my tears.
As I walked down the hall into those years
And the sweetest song I've ever loved to sing filled the MTC on
Angel's wings the chorus filled my soul 5000 strong and I wished it
Would just go on and on The firmest hand I've ever loved to shake was
My trainer's with that big grin on his face he
Grabbed my bag and put his arm 'round me and whispered
I'm gonna work those Mr.
Macs right off your feet"
And the hardest words I've ever anguished for came just before some
Lady slammed her door my trainer left me hanging out to dry as a
Minute of painful silence rolled right by But the hardest tears I
Ever loved to cry fell as I opened up my mouth and testified between
The tiny walls of a stranger's living room the Spirit told their
Hearts my words were true The most wonderful sound I've ever heard is
The sound of water running in the church as someone I'd come to love
Got dressed in white my eyes saw their first glimpse of Heaven's
Light The hardest thing I've ever come to see is a man down on his
Knees in agony a drop of blood falls down on olive leaves and for a
Moment he suffers there for me The hardest thing I've ever loved to
Do was getting on this plane and coming home to you in a million ways
Completely torn apart as a land so far away still owns my heart in
The most sincere prayer I've ever prayed I thank my God for each and
Every day For the blessing of the man I've
Come to be As I walk up and kiss my mama's cheek.
