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
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
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
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
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
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.
