Tried It All

[Verse 1:]

I remember the day when I

Took Him in my heart and all my old ways denied

Hey and my old friends sayin I

Wasn't the same made a change in my life

Oh felt like a bum in the slum

No control on my tongue and I cursed and I lied

I played the game for the fame

I was lame for the dames and the devil was my ally

I was in jail made bail and the demons in my head

Made me do something stupid

I was in love wit my girl, but we didn't get along, so I blamed it on the Cupid

Let unemployment hunt me

Didn't nobody want me answer my major

When I tried everything, everything didn't work

Then I finally tried the savior

[Chorus:]

Hay I done tried it all

Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all

Goin to the club, I done tried it all

Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all

Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best

Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes

Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes

[Verse 2:]

I thought I'd recover quickly, but without

God my life was still a little tricky

Hay and I wasn't really picky living for lust

Thank God the girly wasn't sickly

Oh I turned around, I was sound cause the Lord that I found

Man, His love just hit me, I can't deny I was high

This is good, you should try

But it's not the sticky-icky

Now I'm a happy camper

Finally changed my pamper, ready for the throw down

Yeah, I'm a bold soldier nothing to hide like a brother on the low down

I tell them all worldwide, inside, outside, Internet, on the cable

When I tried everything, everything didn't work

But the Holy One is able

[Chorus:]

Hay I done tried it all

Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all

Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all

Goin to the club, I done tried it all

Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best

Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes

Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes

[Bridge:]

Yes, I never know how good Your love could be

But now I see my life is so much better then I ever dreamed

You rescued me

[Chorus:]

Hay I done tried it all

Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all

Goin to the club, I done tried it all

Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all

Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best

Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes

Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes
