Rough Side of the Mountain Songtext

von Rev. F.C. Barnes

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".
