Lyrics
Let Me Never Give Up
Music: Shannon Bannister
Words: Neil Sleevi
Verse 1:
Courageous to the end
What suffering, Lord, what shame!
You bore my sins upon Your cross
And boldly took my blame
Verse 2:
How dauntless, Lord You stood
Though death was guaranteed
Your bravery, Lord, turned my life
From where my sin would lead
Chorus
Let me never give up.
You never gave up on me.
Let me hold on to prayer, Your hope, and Word
And be strengthened by Your hand.
Let me never give up, O Lord.
Let me never give up.
Verse 3
I marvel at such love
And Gods unselfish plan
That You, the apple of His eye
Would die for all of man.
Verse 4
Unflinching sacrifice
How could this ever be?
That You would give Your life like this
To spend all time with me?
Chorus
