Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Help me do good deeds not to be seen or heard
Just to go where You lead and obey Your word
Needn’t be the life of the party or crave attention
You know my heart -- You know my intentions

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Wanna be the one that pitches in with all my heart
In the yard or kitchen, doing more than my part
The one to put a lot of thought into everything I do
To give it my best shot and trust You'll see me through

Don't give up on me
When times are tough, don't leave
I've been the black sheep of the family
Help my unbelief

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
It was for my sin You died
I've got no excuse...

Don’t wanna be a bulldozer, even if I have to suffer
Jesus You're a friend who sticks closer than a brother
Hope You won’t give up on me as I seek to know You better
I’m looking for Your kingdom where I’ll live with You forever

Jesus, don’t give up on me
I won’t give up on you
When times are tough on me
You're there to see me through
It’s easy to spot the lie
but hard to find the truth
For my sin You gave Your life
I don't need more proof 

Don't Give Up on Me
