1. feel all a-grumble because it is no fun:
    My work is hard, my feet are tired, and I am all undone!
    How can I now be happy? To Jesus I must run!
    He knows the ways of cheer and praise until the day is done.
  2. Refrain 1:
    I can, I can, I can!
    With Jesus’ help I can
    Live on the high and happy way;
    I can, I can!

  3. I feel just a-fretful because I am so small;
    When bad things scare, does no one care? On Jesus I will call!
    He’s bigger than the darkness, a castle strong and tall:
    He takes my hand, and near will stand, to keep me from a fall.

    • Refrain 2:
      I can, I can, I can!
      With Jesus’ help I can
      Live on the high and trusting way;
      I can, I can!

  4. I feel just a-bothered to listen and obey;
    And when I try, it seems too high, to do right every day!
    But Jesus came to change me, if I will yield my way;
    He saves from sin, I live within His love so good always.

    • Refrain 3:
      I can, I can, I can!
      With Jesus’ help I can
      Live on the high and holy way;
      I can, I can!
