Rough Side of the Mountain

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"
 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
 I'm comin' up Lord, 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', I'm lookin', for my starry crown
 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
 This old race, will soon be over
 There'll be no more race for me to run
 And I will stand before God's throne
 All my heartaches will be gone
 I'll hear my Savior say, "welcome home"
 I'm coming up
 On the roughside of the mountain
 I must hold on to God his powerful hand
 I'm coming up, on the roughside of the mountain
 I'm doing my best to make it in
 I'm coming up
 On the roughside of the mountain
 I must hold on to God his powerful hand
 I'm coming up, on the roughside of the mountain
 I'm doing my best to make it in
