I'm just tryin' to mat-ter, but most days I don't. Didn't act like a Chris-tian to-day. No time for the Fath-er. No time for his Son. Left their teachings at church on my seat.

Oh Lord help mat-ter. Help me to live. Make me better and pur-er like him. For he died on the cross for our sins. Oh Lord, help me matter to him.

I'm just tryin' to mat-ter, but most days I don't. Didn't follow his path-way to-day. No love for my neighbor-bor. No love for my friends. Got my eyes set sole-ly on me.

Oh Lord help mat-ter. Help me to live. Make me better and pur-er like him. For he died on the cross for our sins. Oh Lord, help me matter to him.

I'm just tryin' to mat-ter, but most days I don't. Didn't walk in his foot-steps to-day. No faith in my broth-er. No faith in your word. So con-vinced I can find my own way.

Oh Lord help mat-ter. Help me to live. Make me better and pur-er like him. For he died on the cross for our sins. Oh Lord, help me matter to him.
