Coming up the Rough Side of the Mountain

Coming up the Rough Side of the Mountain

Reverend F. C. Barnes

Lyrics

Verse 1:

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."

Chorus:

I'm comin' up on the rough side of the mountain,

I must hold to God, His powerful hand.

I'm comin' up on the rough side of the mountain,

I'm doin' my best to make it in.

Chorus

Verse 2:

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.

Chorus

Verse 3:

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".

Chorus)
