1.
It took me time to understand
that we are learners 'till the end
we're never ready although we're holy
we have a home but we're not yet there

Chorus
Learn-time can be hard time
doing what we don't want to
to be like pottery in the Masters' hand
means to listen, try to understand

What we call nice time may be time asleep
our road may be to broad
no wonder that the Gospel we tell
sounds nice but doesn't change a heart

2.
When you're happy you think God loves you
when you're down you're sure he don't
hard times are a punishment
and good times your reward

3.
With this perspective
you'll never know who God is
you reduce him to a moral authority
and you trample upon God's grace

Chorus
If he treated us according our deeds
he'd never have sent his son
we're his children 'cause we believe in him
and not because we do not fail

But his love will surround us
may the times be rough or nice
and his hand will always lead us
on the highway and on stoney paths

In the end there'll be astonishment
what the rough ways were good for
and you don't want to miss the experience
that hard times make you strong
