Rough Side of the Mountain
A
Oh Lord, you know I'm strivin',
D A
tryin' to make it through this barren land,
A D
but as I go from day to day,
A D
I can hear my Savior say,
A E A
"trust me child, come on and hold my hand."
Chorus:
A
I'm comin' up on the rough side of the mountain,
A
I must hold to God, His powerful hand.
A D
I'm comin' up on the rough side of the mountain,
A E A
I'm doin' my best to make it in.
A
I'm comin' up Lord, Yes I’m coming up Lord
D A
although my burdens sometimeS they press me down,
A D
but if I can only keep this faith
A D
I'll have strength just to run this race;
A E A
I'm lookin', yes I’m lookin’ for my robe and crown.
A
This old race will be soon be over,
D A
there'll be no more race for me to run.
A D
And I will stand before God's throne,
A D
all my heartaches will be gone,
A E A
I'll hear my Savior say, child "welcome home".
