Rough Side Of The Mountain

Clap your hands, c'mon

Oh, Lord, I'm striving
Trying 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, I'll hold your hand," come on, darling

I'm coming up
On the rough side
Of the mountain
I must hold to God (Gotta hold on)
His powerful hand
I'm coming up (Yes, I am)
On the rough side
Of the mountain (What you doing, what you doing there?)
I'm doing my best to make it in

I'm coming up, Lord (I'm coming up, Lord), I'm coming up, Lord
Although my burdens, sometimes, they press me down, I heard my daddy say this
But if I can only keep the faith, I'll have strength just to run this race
I'm looking, I'm looking for my starry crown, everybody join in, c'mon

I'm coming up (On the rough side)
On the rough side (Of the mountain)
Of the mountain (Oh, Lord, but)
I must hold to God (Gotta hold on)
His powerful hand (I'm coming up, y'all)
I'm coming up (On the rough side)
On the rough side (Of the mountain)
Of the mountain (Doing my best)
I'm doing my best to make it in (Lemme tell my last verse, lemme say this right here), say that

This old race (This old race), it will soon be over (Oh, yes, it will)
Oh, there won't be no more race for me to run, here's what I gotta do
But I gotta stand before God's throne, all my heartaches will be gone
I'll hear my savior say, "Welcome home", one more time (Oh)

I'm coming up (Coming up, y'all)
On the rough side
Of the mountain (Yes, I am, but)
I must hold to God (Can I hold on? Yeah)
His powerful hand (I'm coming up, y'all)
I'm coming up (On the rough side)
On the rough side (Of the mountain)
Of the mountain (I'm doing my best)
I'm doing my best (Yeah) to make it in (Y'all clap your hands when I say this, well)

I'm coming up (I'm coming up)
Coming up (I'm coming up)
Coming up (I'm coming up)
Coming up (I'm coming up)
Coming up, y'all (I'm coming up)
Coming up (I'm coming up)
Get harder sometimes (I'm coming up)
But I'm coming up (I'm coming up)
I have to crawl sometimes (Oh, yes)
But I'm coming up (I'm coming up)
Oh, yes, I am (Oh, yes, I am)
Yes, I am (Yes, I am)
What about you? (I'm coming up)
What about you? (Yes, I am)
Are you coming up? (Yes, I am)
Are you coming up? (I'm coming up)
Are you coming up? (I'm coming up)
Are you coming up? (I'm coming up)
Oh, yes, I am (Oh, yes, I am)
Coming up (I'm coming up)
And I'm doing my best to make it in, yeah
