Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. It shouldn’t be hard to sit very still And think about Jesus, his cross on the hill, And all that he suffered and did for me; It shouldn’t be hard to sit quietly.
It shouldn’t be hard, even though I am small, To think about Jesus, not hard at all.
2. I think of the miles he walked in the dust, And children he helped to love and to trust; It shouldn’t be hard to sit tall in my seat, To listen politely, to quiet my feet.
It shouldn’t be hard, even though I am small, To think about Jesus, not hard at all.
