I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; If in my heart I do not yield I’ll overcome some day. 2 Both seen and unseen powers join To drive my soul astray, But with God's Word a sword of mine, I’ll overcome some day. I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; But with God's Word a sword of mine, I’ll overcome some day. 3 A thousand snares are set for me, And mountains in my way; If Jesus will my leader be, I’ll overcome some day. I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; If Jesus will my leader be, I’ll overcome some day. 4 I fail so often when I try My Savior to obey; It pains my heart and then I cry, Lord, make me strong some day. Lord, make me strong some day, Lord, make me strong some day; It pains my heart and then I cry, Lord, make me strong some day. 5 My mind is not to do the wrong, But walk the narrow way; I’m praying as I journey on, To overcome some day. To overcome some day, To overcome some day; I’m praying as I journey on, To overcome some day. 6 Tho' many a time no signs appear, Of answer when I pray; My Jesus says I need not fear, He’ll make it plain some day. I’ll be like Him some day, I’ll be like Him some day; My Jesus says I need not fear, I’ll be like Him some day.
