It's So Easy
Song Meaning
Twila Paris admits a limitation openly rather than claiming consistent devotion in "It's So Easy" — "it's so easy to love You, it's so easy when the sun is always coming my way, it's so easy when I'm winning every game that I play, oh, Lord, it's so easy when I'm up, but help me love You when I'm down." The confession names exactly when faith gets difficult.
"Sailing on the crest of a wave, riding high, feeling proud, so strong and so brave... looking through rose-colored glasses, I see I can be all that I want me to be" describes the easy season honestly, without pretending it wasn't genuinely good. "Funny how the change of the tide slows me down, all at once, I'm looking inside" names the hard season as the one that actually produces reflection.
"I have never loved You any better than I loved You when my heart was staring at the seas" closes the song by reversing the expected order — not claiming the easy times were the truest, but the hard ones.
Sailing on the crest of a wave
Riding high
Feeling proud, so strong and so brave
Ready to fly
Looking through rose-colored glasses, I see
I can be all that I want me to be
It's so easy to love You
It's so easy when the sun is always coming my way
It's so easy to love You
It's so easy when I'm winning every game that I play
Oh, Lord, it's so easy when I'm up
But help me love You when I'm down
Funny how the change of the tide
Slows me down
All at once, I'm looking inside
Turning around
Bringing my heart into focus again
I need the hard times to see where I've been
'Cause it's so easy to love You
It's so easy when the sun is always coming my way
It's so easy to love You
It's so easy when I'm winning every game that I play
Oh, Lord, it's so easy when I'm up
But help me love You when I'm down
I will love You through the changing weather
Even through the shattered dreams
I have never loved You any better
Than I loved You when
My heart was staring at the seas
It's so easy to love You
It's so easy when the sun is always coming my way
It's so easy to love You
It's so easy when I'm winning every game that I play
Oh, Lord, it's so easy when I'm up
But help me love You when I'm down
