EVERY MORNING – WHEN I FIRST AWAKE
I THANK THE LORD – FOR ANOTHER DAY
THEN I DREAD THE THOUGHT OF LOOSING HIM
TO LIVE MY LIFE MY OWN WAY
THEN I THINK ABOUT MY LIFE – AND THE WAY IT USE TO BE
AND THE WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN
AND I GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND SAY
I’LL KEEP TRYING
AND I’LL KEEP TRYING TO BE THAT MAN
THE WAY THE LORD WANTS ME TO BE
AND I’LL KEEP TRYING TO STAY THE COURSE
THE WAY MY LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE
BUT WHEN EVERYTHINGS A BLUR AND THERES NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN
AND FEEL LIKE GIVEN UP
THAT WHEN I'LL GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND SAY
I’LL KEEP TRYING
AND I’LL KEEP TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHY HE PUT ME ON THIS EARTH
AND WHY HE LET ME LIVE THE LIFE I LIVED
AND GAVE ME A LIFE I DON’T DESERVE
I SAY PRAY BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
AND THANK HIM FOR THIS EXTRA DAY
FOR I KNOW THESE DAYS ARNT GUARENTTED
AND THIS IS WHY I HAVE TO SAY
FOR THESE DAYS I’M TRULY BLESSED AND I TRULY DON’T DERSERVE
TO WALK IN HIS NAME
BUT AS LONG AS I DO, I WILL
KEEP ON TRYING
KEEP ON TRYING
I’LL KEEP ON TRYING
OH LORD I’LL KEEP ON TRYING
I WILL
I’LL KEEP ON TRYING
I’LL KEEP ON TRYING
