The sun shines 
And leaves blow 
And my hope like autumn is turning brown 
I know it seems like I'm always falling down 
(Chorus)

Chorus:
But it does not matter to me 
Although it seems like it should 
It's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say 
Rest in me little David 
And dry all your tears 
You can lay down your armor 
And have no fear 
Cause I'm always here 
When you're tired of running 
And I'm all the strength that you need 

It's uphill both ways 
Tomorrow I swear I won't act this way 
And I know it seems like that is what I always say 
(Chorus)

Outro:
You know I want to be like Jesus 
But it seems so very far away 
When will I learn to obey
Obey
