Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There were nights I thought I'd break
Times I barely had the strength
Carrying burdens I couldn't explain
Trying to smile through all the pain
I've been down, I've been weak
Felt the pressure on my knees
But every time I thought I'd fall
I heard your voice above it all
[Chorus]
You told me, "Child, don't lose your faith
Even when the road gets hard to face
So I'll keep walking, come what may
'Cause I know you'll make a way"
I will not give up
I will not back down
Even when the storm is strong
I'll keep standing on this ground
I will not give up
I keep holding on
'Cause the God who brought me here
Won't leave me when it all goes wrong
I will not give up
[Verse 2]
There were prayers I prayed in tears
Moments drowning in my fears
But somehow in the darkest night
Your mercy kept me alive
When I couldn't see the end
You still call me friend
And when my heart was tired and worn
You gave me strength to carry on
You told me, "Child, just trust in me
Even when you cannot see
So I'll keep walking through the rain
Knowing you are still the same"
[Chorus]
I will not give up
I will not back down
Even when the storm is strong
I'll keep standing on this ground
I will not give up
I'll keep holding on
'Cause the God who brought me here
Won't leave me when it all goes wrong
I will not give up
[Bridge]
Oh, when I'm weak, you make me stronger
When I'm lost, you pull me closer
When I'm tired, you lift my head
Remind me I'm not finished yet
No weapon formed against me stands
When my life is in your hands
So I will trust you through the fire
You are my hope, my heart's desire
No, I won't quit now
No, I won't turn around
Too much grace has brought me here
Too much mercy held me near
[Chorus]
I will not give up
I will not back down
Even when the storm is strong
I'll keep standing on this ground
I will not give up
I'll keep holding on
'Cause the God who brought me here
Won't leave me when it all goes wrong
I will not give up
Not while you are by my side
You've been faithful every step
And you've never left my life
I will not ever give up
[Outro]
So I'll keep believing
I'll keep trusting
I'll keep walking till the breakthrough comes
I will not give up
