Additional Verses:
Try to do my best in service, Try to live the best I can
When I choose to do the right thing, Evil’s present on every hand
I look up and wonder why that good fortune pass me by,
Then I say to my soul, be patient, The Lord will make a way somehow.
Often there’s misunderstanding out of all the good I do,
Go to friends for consolation and I find them complaining too
So many night I toss in pain, wondering what the day will bring
But I say to my heart, don’t worry, The Lord will make a way somehow.
