Try Again lyrics
When I was a child
I-first learned to crawl
But when I started walking
I’d always fall.
My Mom picked me up
And wiped Away my tears
With hugs and loving words
She’d ease all my fears
Try again , try again
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Try again Try again
You’ve come so far
Since you began
Life is full
Of little falls
Try again
A soft voice calls
Life is hard
But you can’t quit
Try again
You can do it
Then—-
When I went to school
I Could read with ease
But my hand writing
Was so sloppy I -was always getting teased
My teacher could tell
That I wasn’t real deft
So She taught me
to write using my Left
Try again , try again
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Try again Try again
You’ve come so far
Since you began
We all have
Our own shortfalls
Try again
A soft voice calls
Practice makes
Us more perfect
Try again
Till it’s correct
Though I’m now grown
I fall each day
Tripped up by sin
Blocking my way
Yet when I call
Amidst my tears
God reaches down
To lift my fears
Try again , try again
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Try again Try again
For those that try
God will strengthen
Life is full
Of pitfalls
Try again
A soft voice calls
Life is hard
But you can’t quit
Try again
You can do it
I’m nearby
I can help
When you cry
I fell too
Carrying a cross
So I could rescue you
I understand
I know your pain
Take my hand
Try again
Try again , try again
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Try again Try again
You’ve come so far
Since you began
Try again
