Christafari - Never Give In Lyrics
Lyrics
I can't let them stop you from what you gotta be doing you know?
Especially for the Most High
Emotion
Chorus: Oh, never give up
Don't give in and don't you ever give up (Repeat)
I won't go down quietly into the night
I won't go down quietly without a fight
I won't give up
No won't give in
I won't go down quietly into the night
This love is far too precious to requite
It's far to precious got to fight
I won't give up
No won't give in
I won't go down quietly into the night
You are reluctant to continue
And your resistance won't let you go through
In this instant you gotta change what you do and have faith
For you can take it just so far in length
You won't make it, not on your own strength
Don't bother fake it in your moment of angst just have faith
(CHORUS)
I say we never give up
Never gonna give it up (Repeat)
Sing out
Oh never give up
Youth never give up
With Jesus in your life--He's more than enough
Youth never give up
Please never give up
You got to keep it up
Oh never give up
Youth never give up
Sweet Jesus in your life and He's more than enough
Oh never give up
Please never give up
So no matter what they say or do
Don't you let them ever discourage you
From the things that you've got to do
I know Jah will be there for you
I know He cares for you
So you just keep pressing through
The mark of the prize that is in Him and not you
(CHORUS)
I said we're never giving up though they fight this
I got to stand up and then be a witness
I'm gonna preach the Word of God like John the Baptist
Even if they wanna kill me and leave me headless
I still preach it everywhere that I go
So all the people in the World they can know that Jesus alone yes Him love them so
We a real warrior
We nah stopping now! (CHORUS).

Christafari - never give in
Meaning & Inspiration
Christafari's "Never Give In," featured on their 2007 album *To the Foundation*, is a powerful declaration of unwavering faith and perseverance in the face of adversity. This track is not merely a song; it's an anthem for anyone wrestling with doubt or the pressures to abandon their convictions, particularly for those called to serve the Most High. The core message resonates with the biblical injunction found in Galatians 6:9, which encourages us not to grow weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. The lyrics directly address the internal struggle of reluctance and resistance, acknowledging the natural human tendency to falter when faced with challenges. It calls for a profound shift in perspective, urging listeners to move beyond their own limited strength and to place their faith squarely in God's power, as the song states, "You won't make it, not on your own strength." This echoes the wisdom of Zechariah 4:6, reminding us that it is not by might nor by power, but by God’s Spirit that great works are accomplished.
The chorus, a driving and insistent refrain, embodies the song’s central thesis: "Oh, never give up. Don't give in and don't you ever give up." This repetition is not just for emphasis; it's a spiritual discipline, a mental and emotional fortification against the whispers of defeat. The imagery of not going "down quietly into the night" speaks to a fierce determination to stand firm, drawing parallels to biblical figures like David who faced down giants and prophets who endured immense persecution for their message. The assertion, "This love is far too precious to requite," points to the immense sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, a love so profound it compels believers to fight for their faith and for the truth. This sentiment aligns with the call in 1 Corinthians 15:58 to be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Further expanding on the theme, the verses encourage listeners, particularly the youth, to recognize the sufficiency of Jesus in their lives. The message is clear: with Christ, one has more than enough to overcome any obstacle. This is a direct reflection of Philippians 4:13, which assures us that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. The song implores listeners not to be discouraged by external opinions or actions, but to keep pressing forward, fixated on the ultimate prize which is found in Christ, not in self-reliance. This resonates with Hebrews 12:1-2, which calls believers to run with perseverance the race marked out for them, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. The final verses escalate the commitment, with the speaker declaring a readiness to be a witness and to preach the Word, even unto death, much like the apostles who faced martyrdom for their unwavering devotion. This bold stance underscores the transformative power of faith and the deep conviction that the love of God for humanity is a truth worth proclaiming to the ends of the earth, a testament to the courage and resilience that comes from a profound relationship with the divine.
