I tried and I tried,

I tried and I tried;

I tried and I tried until I found the Lord.

My soul just couldn’t be contented,

My soul just couldn’t be contented;

My soul just couldn’t be content

until I found the Lord.

I prayed and I prayed,

I prayed and I prayed;

I prayed and I prayed

until I found the Lord.

My soul just couldn’t be contented,

My soul just couldn’t be contented;

My soul just couldn’t be content

until I found the Lord.

I searched and I searched,

I searched and I searched;

I searched and I searched

until I found the Lord.

My soul just couldn’t be contented,

My soul just couldn’t be contented;

My soul just couldn’t be content

until I found the Lord.

I found, yes, I found,

I found, yes, I found;

I found, yes, I found,

I fin’ly found the Lord.

My soul just couldn’t be contented,

My soul just couldn’t be contented;

My soul just couldn’t be content

until I found the Lord.
