“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.
