Verse 1
Oh Lord, I am striving
Try’n 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, I’ll hold your hand.”

Chorus
I’m coming up on the rough side of the mountain.
I must hold to God’s his powerful hand.
I’m coming up on the rough side of the mountain.
I’m doing my best to make it in.

Verse 2
I’m coming up Lord, I’m coming up, Lord.
Although my burdens sometimes press me down.
But if I only keep the faith,
I’ll have strength just to run this race.
I am looking, I’m looking for my starry crown.

Chorus

Verse 3
This old race will soon be over,
And there’ll be no more race for me to run.
And I got to stand before God’s throne.
All my heartaches will be gone.
I will hear my Savior say, “Welcome home.”

Chorus
