[Verse 1: Yolanda Adams]
I know it's been a while now
Since you last heard from me
Or talked with me
It's been kind of hard lately
I've had a lot on my mind
It's been so long
I'm afraid that the words may not come out right
But, tonight I'll try
Tonight, mmm
Tonight I'll try
Tonight

[Verse 2: Yolanda Adams]
I know that prayin' ain't always easy
It's hard sometimes to express what you feel inside
Especially when you don't think God is listening
It's been raining now for some time
But instead of what I see
You want me to trust You working it out for me
So, tonight I will try
Tonight
Oh, oh, oh
Tonight I'll try
Tonight, yeah
[Bridge: Yolanda Adams, Choir]
Whoever told you living in this world would be easy
Baby, they lied
And, whoever said lovin' folk
That don't love you back ain't really hard
Then they ain't really tried it
Telling you what I'm going through
Sometimes it's harder than I realize
(Harder than I realize)
But tonight I'll try
Tonight
(Try tonight, I'll try)
Tonight I'll try
(Tonight) Tonight

[Verse 3: Yolanda Adams]
So, tonight when you get home
You oughta unplug the phone
And get alone
Tell your Father how you truly feel
Even if your words don't come out right
For no matter how far you've gone
God's love can find you and bring you back home
So tonight you oughta try
Tonight, oh, oh, oh
So tonight you oughta try
Tonight, oh, oh, oh, whoever
[Bridge: Yolanda Adams, Choir]
Whoever told you living in this world would be easy
Baby, they lied
(Baby, baby, baby, they lied)
And, whoever said lovin' folk
That don't love you back ain't really hard
Then they ain't really tried it
(They ain't even tried)
Telling you what I'm going through (Oh, oh)
Sometimes it's harder than I realize
(Harder than I realize)
But tonight I'll try
Tonight
(I'll try tonight, oh, oh)
Tonight I'll try
Tonight
(Say it, Kirk)

[Interlude: Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams]
Check this out, y'all
This song is dedicated to everybody that feel like they've gone too far
(You haven't gone too far)
To where God can't hear your prayer
There's no mistake you can ever make my brother and sister, that God won't be able to hear you when you call
The Son has opened up the door so that you can talk to the Father
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
So wherever you are, whatever you're doing
Tonight, when you get home, I want you to do this right here
[Outro: Yolanda Adams, Choir]
(Tonight) Take away my pain
(Tonight) Take away my strains
(Tonight) And let me live
(Tonight) All over again
(Tonight) Tonight I'm gonna throw my hands up
(Tonight) Tonight I'm gonna give it all up
(Tonight) Tonight I wanna turn it all around
(Tonight) Put my feet on solid ground
(Tonight) Won't you take me where you need to take me
(Tonight) Won't you do with me what you wanna do with me
(Tonight) Tonight
(Tonight) This night
(Tonight) I'm yours, I'm yours
(Tonight) I'm yours, I'm yours
(Tonight) I'm yours, I'm yours
(Tonight) Tonight
(Tonight) Won't You take them tonight
(Tonight) Won't You take them tonight
(Tonight) Won't You take them all tonight
(Tonight)
