You Never Gave Up On Me
You never gave up on me, Jesus,
When You knew I was lost and astray.
You never gave up on me, Jesus,
No, You suffered and went all the way.
You bore all the stripes and the beatings,
The nails in Your hands and Your feet,
And You never gave up on me, Jesus,
For You made my salvation complete.
You never give up on me, Jesus,
Though I stumble and fall into sin.
You never give up on me, Jesus,
No You offer forgiveness within.
You say if I tell You I'm sorry,
You're faithful and just to forgive.
No, You never give up on me, Jesus,
You keep giving me reason to live.
You'll never give up on me, Jesus,
Till the last breath I take here below.
You'll never give up on me, Jesus,
You'll keep me in Your hand, I know.
I'll bow at Your throne up in Glory;
I'll praise Your sweet name ever more.
For You'll never give up on me, Jesus,
You will guide me to heaven's fair shore.
I can never quite fathom Your mercy,
I know I don't deserve Your love,
And You sit at the hand of the Father
Interceding for me up above.
I'll never give up on You, Jesus,
Help me now as I take my stand
To never give up on you, Jesus,
As I walk this world's sinful land.
Be near that I feel Your sweet Spirit,
Flood me with Your blessings and grace,
For I'll never give up on You, Jesus,
Till in heaven I see Your sweet face.
