[Intro]
As Christians, we are to try,
we may not always get it right,
as long as we try sow good,
we can sleep soundly every night.
Try for good, do our best,
for God, above our paygrade we leave the rest.

[Verse 1]
Beverage on the counter, keys by the door,
a packed lunch, a prayer, then out to the floor.
We bite our tongue when the old hurt talks,
choose a clean answer in the middle of the knock.

It’s not all grand, it’s not all neat,
some days faith is just showing up on feet.
Holding the line when the room runs cold,
leaving room for mercy in the things we hold.

[Chorus]
We try, we try, with open hands,
doing the next right thing we can.
Not perfect, not polished, just willing and true,
planting little good in the things we do.

We try, we try, and we let go slow,
trusting the God who already knows.
We don’t carry what we can’t supply,
we do our part and leave the rest for God.

[Verse 2]
There’s a name in my phone I should call back soon,
there’s a chair at the table, there’s a bill past due.
There’s a neighbor who waves from across the street,
a tired pair of shoes and a week to keep.

We can patch up the fence, we can wash that dish,
we can speak with grace even when we’re missed.
Small hands, small steps, but they still add up,
like bread on the table, like enough is enough.

[Chorus]
We try, we try, with open hands,
doing the next right thing we can.
Not perfect, not polished, just willing and true,
planting little good in the things we do.

We try, we try, and we let go slow,
trusting the God who already knows.
We don’t carry what we can’t supply,
we do our part and leave the rest for God.

[Bridge]
When the road gets hard and the silence stays,
when we’re out of answers and out of ways,
teach us to move with a steady heart,
to keep on loving where we are.

[Final Chorus]
We try, we try, with open hands,
doing the next right thing we can.
Not perfect, not polished, just willing and true,
planting little good in the things we do.

We try, we try, and we let go slow,
trusting the God who already knows.
We do what we can, then we step aside,
and leave the rest for God.
