Try Try Again
'Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again;
Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again;
Once or twice, though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;
If we strive, 'tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race;
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again
If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again
All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view:
Try, try again.

Redeem the Time
Life is full of choices and different voices
Choose the best and you will fret less.
Be careful how you lend your ears
This will make for more days with cheer.
Keep your Lord close and never roam
This will make for Peace in your home.
Don’t listen to lies, keep your eyes on Paradise
Unseen enemies speak words that are not true.
Keep your ears for Jesus and His Love for you.
Be mindful of things you cherish
Some things are destined to perish.
So make sure you balance them with heavenly things
And oh such pleasure and Joy they will bring.
Be not subdued by things untrue
Keep your heart full of Jesus and His Love for you.
And you will sing everyday along life’s way.
Scripture says to Redeem the Time.
