Verse 1:
Every night before I go to sleep,
On bended knees,
These are the words I speak,
"keep me Lord, so I won't go astray",
"it's my desire to live for You each day",
"Lord I try..."

Chorus:
I try to live the best I can,
In all my ways acknowledge Him,
Keep the truth, and always pray,
And live the life.

I try to live the best I can,
In all my ways acknowledge Him,
Keep the truth, and always pray,
And live the life.

Verse 2:
I haven't done all I can say and do,
But I'm trying my best the closer I get to You.
Touch me Lord, for Your word is life to me,
I surrender my all to You completely,
Oh I try...
Chorus

Bridge:
Everyday I life my life
According to Your word,
To be a light so someone lost
Can always find their way.

Keep my mind, my heart,
My thoughts always on heavenly things.
Trusting Uou in every way in all I say and do.

(I try to live), try to live.
(I try to live), try to live.
(I try to live), try to live.
(I try to live), try to live.

Chorus
