Add: I'LL OVERCOME SOMEDAY Charles Albert Tindley, 1900 1 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. 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 nor fear, I'll be like Him some day. http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~mudws/texts/overcome.txt "Words and music by Charles Albert Tindley (1851-1933) and Rev.
