Tried To Make A Difference
Second thoughts, what if? Maybe, who knows.
It's a Trio, Me, Myself and I
Story behind the song
I just thought,"what if Jesus had second thoughts on his last day". That inspired this song.
Lyrics
Tried To Make A Difference
(Jim Russ )
I tried to make a difference
But it wasn’t meant to be
The world would just have to wait
For another man like me
A change I thought they needed
Someone to guide their souls
Some welcomed it with passion
Some would rather walk over coals
A new life without hating
They could not understand
To give up things they believed in
Was against the law of the land
(Chorus)
Father why has thou forsaken me?
Is this truly where I’m meant to be?
Will this help them turn their lives around?
Will I be the faith that they have found?
I tried to make a difference
But it wasn’t meant to be
I cried for all those people
Who have lost their faith in me
Will they welcome kindness
I pray that hope’s still there
To live and love one another
Is a way we all can share
(Chorus)
Father why has thou forsaken me?
How can these people live with what they see?
Will I save them by dying here today?
I need to know ‘cause forgiveness is my way
Will I save them by dying here today?
I need to know before they carry me away
