A man was lying in the street today
While people passed by
All he needed was a helping hand
But no one even tried
It seems so easy to walk away
Hoping someone else will care
Can't take a moment from a busy day
It's so much trouble and it's never easy to love

It's never easy, no it's never easy to love
It's never easy, I'm telling you now
That it's a chance you take, a choice you make
It's always worth it, but it's never easy to love
It's never easy, no, it's never easy to love
It's never easy, but don't be afraid
Don't give up and don't give in
It's always worth it, but it's never easy to love

Some people tell you not to take a chance
Just leave the world alone
Don't give the homeless one a second glance
Or you'll have to take him home
It seems too comfortable to live your life
Looking out for number one
It takes an effort to do what's right
It's so much trouble and it's never east to love

It's never easy, no it's never easy to love
It's never easy, I'm telling you now
That it's a chance you take, a choice you make
It's always worth it, but it's never easy to love
It's never easy, no, it's never easy to love
It's never easy, but don't be afraid
Don't give up and don't give in
It's always worth it, but it's never easy to love

But Jesus came to take the shame
For all our foolish ways
To give his life's sacrifice
for now and ever it's never easy to love
