Say “I will do!” And Not “I’ll try!”
by Michael Carter
“I’ll try”, he said…… when he was asked if he could do it
He never achieved a finished product, never got around to do it
Had a chance to go but blew it
Tried to eat but could not chew it
He tried
“I’ll try”, the soldier said, when selected for a mission
He never made it through the river couldn’t stick to his decision
Couldn’t do it but He tried
“It’s not his fault!” somebody sighed
He tried
What if on your wedding day?
A father gave the bride away
And the vows they had to say
To love honor and obey
Instead of “I will do” the couple said,
“I’ll try!”
“Thy will be done”, the savior cried
“Keep My commandments! Don’t just try!”
Don’t believe the Devil’s lie
Man loved the taste of this world’s pie
Man tried
If as a Christian you must stand
And face a lynch mob’s bloody hand
Deny your Lord is the command
Chicken out or be a man
Will my Jesus understand?
“I’m sorry Lord, I tried!”
Live God’s Word and do not waver
If you seek the Father’s favor
Full commitment He doth savor
He wants change in your behavior
For you
He died
There’s a phrase that we don’t need
Makes us not finish our deeds
Makes our plans to not succeed
Chokes us like a garden weed
That phrase
“I’ll try”
If you leave a life of sin
Turn and not go back again
Make Jesus Christ your new best friend
Clothed in him until the end
You’ll obey His word and not
Just try!
When that silver cord is broken
We answer for the words we’ve spoken
After death all have awoken
Many souls will start a-smoken
When the Master asks you
“Why?”
Don’t just try do the deed
Don’t just try, PLANT THE SEED!
If you’re all talk you won’t succeed
Serve the Lord with rapid speed
Really “do” and don’t just
Try
Think about the price you’ll pay
When your life has passed away
And you ask on Judgment Day
“Lord, why did ‘you’ not show the way?”
What if you hear the Savior say
“I tried!”
