So you've lost your will to live

Seems you're down to your last friend

And the weight of the world keeps trying to pull you in

Chorus:

Don't give up. Don't give in. Give it all to Him.

'Cause He cares so much more than you know

When it seems who you really want to be

Is someone you'll never become

Just look how far you've come

Though you failed at plans you've made

Don't forget all the steps you've made

He has brought you this far

He can take you the rest of the way

Chorus:

Don't give up. Don't give in. Give it all to Him.

'Cause He cares so much more than you know

When it seems who you really want to be

Is someone you'll never become

Just look how far you've come

I know it's not always easy

(How far you've come)

But don't you throw it all away

(How far you've come)

I know that He will take care of you everyday

Chorus:

Don't give up. Don't give in. Give it all to Him.

'Cause He cares so much more than you know

When it seems who you really want to be

Is someone you'll never become

Just look how far you've come.
