People say
mean things about me
That knock me to my knees
Lord, you know all about me
And you'll give my poor heart ease
You know my days have not been perfect
As I've climbed these rugged hills
But oh, I'm try
ing to do thy will
Please, Master, be my comfort
For You know my friends are few
I can't buy all these toils
If I have a friend in You, Lord
But if I fall back on my journey
Let the mercy linger still
Oh God, I'm trying
To do Thy will
Oh, be my friend
Stand by me to the end
Be my light
Guide me through the night
Take my hand, please understand
Hear my call, don't let me fall
And when my friends turn
their back on me
Tears blind my eyes, I cannot see
Remember, oh Lord,
I'm trying to do thy will
I'm trying, I'm trying,
every day of my life
Trying to do thy will
I haven't reached perfection
I sometimes lose connection
But I keep on tryin' to do your will
And if I find her on my way
Don't get angry, Lord, let me stay
Oh, Lord, I'm tryin' to do thy will
You took my place
