The Best You Can

 
When other get ahead of you
In everything you try to do,
Don't give up trying, don't feel blue...
Just do the best you can.

When those you trusted let you down
And greet your smile with scowl and frown,
Don't turn and run right out of town...
Just do the best you can.

Though other people criticize
The things you say, your work despise;
Just straighten up and raise your eyes...
And do the best you can.

When sorrow strikes with crushing blow,
When day by day you lonelier grow
Remember, there is One who'll know...
So do the best you can.

He'll never let you down, be sure,
Although His purpose seems obscure
Just trust in Him, keep your heart pure
And do the best you can.

So when the course of Life is run,
Though fame and wealth you have not won,
He'll say "That was a job well done"...
So do the best you can.
