Rough Side Of The Mountain
Oh lord
I'm striving
trying
to make it
through
this barron land
but as I go from day to day
I can hear my savior say
trust me child
come home
i'll hold your hand

I'm coming up

On the rough side

On the rough side

Of the mountain.

Of the mountain
I'm gonna to hold to Gods

his powerful hand

his powerful hand
i'm coming up

on the rough side

on the rough side
of the mountain
and i'm doing my best to make it in

I'm coming up lord
I'm coming up lord yes
although my burdens
sometime press me down
if i could only keep the faith
I would have strenght
just to run this race
lord I'm lookin lookin for my stary crown

i'm coming up

yes I am

on the rough side
of the mountain
I must hold to Gods

hold to his hand

his powerful hand
i'm coming up
on the rough side
of the mountain
and i'm doing my best to make it in

this old race
will soon be over
and my work
down here
will be done
all of my heartaches will be gone
when I stand before God's throne
I want to hear him say
my child well done.

I coming up
on the rough side
on the rough side
rough side of the mountain
of the mountain
i'm gonna hold to Gods
his powerful hand
i'm comin up
on the rough side
of the mountain
and i'm doing my best to make it in
I'm comin up
on the rough side
of the mountain
yes I am
I holding on to his powerful hand
I coming up the rough side of the mountain and I'm doing my best to make it in
