Rev. F. C. Barnes — Rough Side of the Mountain lyrics

Lyrics

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 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.
This old race will be 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».
