Mavis Staples - Try Harder Lyrics






There's evil in the world
And there's evil in me
There's evil in the world
And there's evil in me

Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder
Gotta try harder
Gonna try harder

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

I gotta live in forgiveness
We gotta give each other hope
Cause there's evil in the world
And there's evil in me

Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Gonna try harder
Try harder
I'm gonna try harder
Gonna try harder
I'm gonna try harder
Try harder
I'm gonna try harder
I gotta try harder

Don't do me no good to pretend
Don't do me no good to give in
Don't do me no good to pretend
I'm as good as I can be

Yeah
Ah, yeah

Mavis Staples Try Harder Comments
  1. N.... F....

    If by trying harder I could have
    satisfied Your standard
    of perfect righteousness,
    If by trying harder I could have
    kept Your law perfectly,
    Then Jesus would have never
    had to die for our sins.
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
    Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 KJV

    Don't do me no good to pretend
    Don't do me no good to give in
    Don't do me no good to pretend
    I'm as good as I can be

    Gotta try harder
    Gonna try harder

    Don't do me no good to pretend
    Don't do me no good to give in
    Don't do me no good to pretend
    I'm as good as I can be

    I gotta live in forgiveness
    We gotta give each other hope
    Cause there's evil in the world
    And there's evil in me

    Don't do me no good to pretend
    I'm as good as I can be

    Don't do me no good to pretend

    I'm as good as I can be

    Gonna try harder
    Try harder

    Don't do me no good to pretend
    I'm as good as I can be

    Yeah
    Ah, yeah

    I must not try harder,
    but I gotta let You
    work in me
    both to will and to do
    of Your good pleasure.
    Yes, I really must not get in Your way.
    I must not ever get in Your way.
