I’ll Overcome Some Day

This world is one great bat­tle­field

With forces all ar­rayed

If in my heart I do not yield

I’ll ov­er­come some day.

I’ll ov­er­come some day

I’ll ov­er­come some day

If in my heart I do not yield

I’ll ov­er­come some day.

Both seen and un­seen pow­ers join

To drive my soul as­tray

But with His Word a sword of mine

I’ll ov­er­come some day.

I’ll ov­er­come some day

I’ll ov­er­come some day

But with His Word a sword of mine

I’ll ov­er­come some day.

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.

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.

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.

Though 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

He’ll make it plain some day.
