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
Live the life (I sing about)
[repeat]
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]
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 you in every way in all I say and do
I try to live [x4]
[Chorus: repeat out]
