“I Don’t Want to Let Him Down” 

  

Chorus: I don’t want to let Him down 

I don’t want to let Him down 

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, 

I don’t want to let Him down 

  

I don’t want to let Him down 

I don’t want to let Him down 

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, 

I don’t want to let Him down 

  

He is my Lord and Savior 

and I don’t want to let Him down 

  

Verse 1: How my Lord and Savior, died for my sin 

yet, I nail Him to the cross, again and again 

I beg His forgiveness, as I sit in pain 

knowing it was me, that should have been, slain 

I humbly put ashes, upon my guilty head 

the consuming fire, that should have left me dead 

not deserving mercy, or love that He gives 

yet, in me He abides, in me He lives 

How can I be Holy, blameless and True 

when I’m not even certain, what I’m about to do 

  

(repeat chorus) 

  

Verse 2: How my Lord and Savior formed my soul in me 

leaving me in wonder, if I am pleasing He 

many times I stumble, many times I fall 

seeking reassurance, I haven’t missed my call 

oh the shame I feel, when I let Him down 

do I call upon Thee, when my face is but a frown 

listening for an answer, I wait for a sound 

as I sit defeated, upon this solemn ground 

oh the grave wonder, the grave despair 

is it even for me, to find solace there 

  

(repeat chorus) 

  

Closing: How my Lord and Savior stretched out His hand 

lifted me off the ground, where I now stand 

“Be not downtrodden, I see no wrong in thee 

for you I shed My Blood,” is all He said to me. 

 

“This Way” 

  

Verse one: When life seems to knock you down, everything 

seems to go round and round, why don’t you try 

it this way. 

This way doesn’t seem to make sense – got my 

life teetering on a fence – very few ups, so many 

downs, very few smiles, too many frowns – Oh 

why don’t you try it this way – 

This way hasn’t been kind to me – got me in a 

bind, can’t set myself free – suffering shows up 

day and night – don’t know how I’m supposed to 

win this fight – Oh why don’t you try it this way 

This way doesn’t seem to be working – every 

turn, troubles there lurking – two steps forward, 

seems to be okay – til you realize, that was yesterday – 

Oh why don’t you try it this way 

This way has you sitting all alone – has you 

tired and weary to the bone – days and nights seem 

to drag along – got you writing life’s sad song – 

Oh why don’t you try it this way 

  

Verse two: When life seems to knock you down – everything 

seems to go round and round – why don’t you try 

it this way – 

This way has you on your knees to pray – thanking 

God for each and every day – so many ups, no time 

to be down – so many smiles, no need to frown – Oh 

why don’t you try it this way – 

This way’s been so kind to me – bound in God’s 

love that sets me free – Godly suffering, brings 

great delight – showing His love and winning the 

fight – Oh why don’t you try it this way 

This way has you doing good works – so little 

trouble, so many perks – every step forward brings the 

Light of Day – not even thinking about yesterday – 

Oh why don’t you try it this way 

This way gives you wonderful friends – Godly 

treasures and not old trends – time seems to go by 

way too fast – waiting on life that will forever 

last – Oh why don’t you try it this way 

  

Ending: When life seems to knock you down – everything 

seems to go round and round – why don’t you try 

it this way – Oh why don’t you try it this way.
