Thank you for this hymn I have been humming since I heard this song 10 yrs ago in Salvation Army in detroit choir.

Rough Side Of The Mountain lyrics
by Fc Barnes

Verse 1:
Oh lord, I'm strivin',
tryin 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 and hold my hand".

Chorus:
I'm comin up on the rough side of the mountain,
I must hold to God, His powerful hand.
I'm comin up on the rough side of the mountain,
I'm doin my best to make it in.

Chorus

Verse 2:
I'm comin' up Lord, although my burdens
sometime they press me down,
but if I can only keep this faith
I'll have strength just to run this race;
I'm lookin' for my starry crown.

Chorus

Verse 3:
This old race will be soon be over,
they'll be no more race to run.
And I will stand before God's throne,
all my heartaches will be gone,
I'll hear my Savior say, "welcome home".

Chorus

songs goes i 'm climbing up on the rough side of the mtn and i'm doing my best to make it in
