Rough Side Of The Mountain Lyrics

Verse 1
Oh lord, I'm strivin',
tryin to make it through this barren land,
but as I go from day to day,
I can hear my Savior say,
trust me child,
come on and hold my hand.

Chorus
I'm comin up on the rough side of the mountain,
I must hold to God, His powerful hand.
I'm comin up on the rough side of the mountain,
I'm doin my best to make it in.

Chorus

Verse 2
I'm comin' up Lord, although my burdens
sometime they press me down,
but if I can only keep this faith
I'll have strength just to run this race;
I'm lookin' for my starry crown.

Chorus

Verse 3
This old race will be soon be over,
they'll be no more race to run.
And I will stand before God's throne,
all my heartaches will be gone,
I'll hear my Savior say, welcome home.

Chorus
