REFRAIN:
I'm comin' up (comin' up on the rough side)
On the rough side (oh yeah) of the mountain (what I gotta do)
I must hold to God (His most powerful hand)
It's a powerful hand (yes I'm a-climbin')
I'm comin' up (comin' up on the rough side)
On the rough side (oh yeah) of the mountain
Lord, I'm doin' my best to make it in.
1. Oh Lord, Lord, Lord you know I'm strivin';
Trying to make it through this barren land.
As I go from day to day I can hear my Savior say,
"Trust in Me, child, I'll hold your hand."
2. I'm climbing up, oh yes, I'm climbin' up!
Oh my burdens, sometimes, they press me down.
If I can keep the faith I'll have strength to run the race;
I'm looking, yes I'm lookin' for my crown.
3. Now one day this old race will soon be over.
There'll be no more races to run.
When I stand before God's throne all my heartaches will be gone
And I'll hear my Savior say, "Welcome home."
