Matthew West
The Right Thing
[Verse 1]
I've got all my excuses
I've got my list of fears
I've counted all the reasons
Why You called the wrong hero to be here
It's not safe, it's just not worth it
Doin' the right thing is just too hard
But I believed those lies for long enough
And I'm not gonna listen anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I remember You said
When all hope is gone
Help will come
[Chorus]
And give me strength to go farther, climb higher
Courage that burns inside like a fire
No turnin' back, this is the day
I will do what I need to, and when I need You
I know Your love will come to the rescue
No turnin' back, this is the day
I do the right thing
[Post-Chorus]
I can do this, I can do this
I'm gonna do this, I can do the right thing
I can do this, let's do this
I wanna do this, I can do the right thing
[Verse 2]
So what if I'm not the strongest
A little weaker than I'd like to be
Well, even I can do what's right because
I know the King is callin' me
To live a life worth lookin' up to
Holdin' onto what matters most
Nobody said it was going to be easy
But I know I'll never be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when all hope is gone
Help will come
Come from above
[Chorus]
And give me strength to go farther, climb higher
Courage that burns inside like a fire
No turnin' back, this is the day
I will do what I need to, and when I need You
I know Your love will come to the rescue
No turnin' back, this is the day
I do the right thing
[Post-Chorus]
I can do this, I can do this
I can do this, I can do the right thing
I'm gonna do this, let's do this
I wanna do this, I can do the right thing
[Bridge]
Do the right thing (I can do)
Do the right thing (The right thing)
Do the right thing (Oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
And give me strength to go farther, climb higher
Courage that burns inside like a fire
No turnin' back, this is the day
I will do what I need to, and when I need You
I know Your love will come to the rescue
No turnin' back, this is the day
Give me strength to go farther, climb higher (Strength...)
Courage that burns inside like a fire (...yeah)
No turnin' back, this is the day (This is the day)
I will do what I need to, and when I need You
I know Your love will come to the rescue
No turnin' back, this is the day
I do the right thing
[Outro]
I can do this, I can do this (Hey, yeah) (The right thing)
I can do this, I can do the right thing
I'm gonna do this, let's do this (I can do) (The right thing)
I wanna do this, I can do the right thing
