VERSE #1I have never reached perfection, |
|
But I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
I've sometimes lost connection, |
|
But I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
Sometimes right, sometimes wrong; |
|
Always hoping, to be strong. |
|
I now rise and sing this song, |
|
Lord I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
|
|
VERSE #2 |
|
Lord I have not, lived free from sin, |
|
But I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
Nor have I been free from doubts within, |
|
But I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
Rock of ages, clef for me; let me hide myself in thee. |
|
While in the tempest, on life's sea, |
|
Lord I tried... (Lord I tried.) |
|
|
|
CHORUS |
|
Lord I've tried... (Lord I've tried!) |
|
Lord I've tried... (Lord I've tried!) |
|
Lord I've tried... (Lord I've tried!) |
|
Lord I really tried... (Lord I've tried!) |
|
I tried to be... (I tried to be...) |
|
Just what you'd have... (Just what you'd have...) |
|
Just what you'd have... (Just what you'd have me to be...) |
|
I'm Sometimes up... (Some times up...) |
|
I'm Sometimes down... (Some times down...) |
|
Almost level... (Almost level...) |
|
To the ground... (To the ground...) |
|
Still I'm climbing, round by round; |
|
Lord I really tried... (Lord I tried!!!) |
