lyrics

Keep Trying

It’s so sad for me to say, that again, I fell by the way;
putting myself into more spiritual debt.
And, it’s really all on me; poor use of agency
that I have now come to regret.
A part of me wants to hide, to keep it all inside;
But that’ll just keep me running from the light.
The Lord has a different plan – for us to do the best we can
and to keep trying, keep trying;
and working on getting it right.

I’ve spent a lot of time, stepping just a little over the line
pushing the limits and never looking back.
And although I am inclined to repent, to be redefined
sometimes it’s difficult to get back on the path.
I know from right and wrong, when I see things come along
but at times the rational me falls out of sight.
Still, the Lord knows where we been and reminds us time and time again
to keep trying, keep trying;
and working on getting it right.

And oh, how it hurts when I fall each and every time
as I say to myself okay, now that will be the last time.

You’d think for goodness sake, I’d learn from my mistakes
but I seem to fall victim to my own deceit.
And as more time goes along that I don’t resolve the wrong
the more I feel there’s no hope left for me.
there’s a not-so quiet part of sensibility in my heart
that tells me not to give up the fight
and then the Lord whispers to me to be the best that I can be
and to keep trying, keep trying;
and working on getting it right.
