Well it's been a long long road and my soul has grown so weary
Just can't understand all the struggles within me
There've been times I strayed away,
even times I could not pray
Somehow my faith would say,
just hold on there's a brighter day
He never gave up,
he never gave up
He reached out
and that was enough You could see who I
was before
Then I'm sure that you will agree He never once ever gave up on me
When your back's against the wall and it seems all hope is gone
Have you often asked yourself,
is there a reason to go on?
Well he looks beyond our guilty stains,
his mercy takes the blame
So forget about your past, praise the Lord,
you're free at last
He never gave up,
mercy reached out and that was enough
You could see who I was before,
then I'm sure that you will agree
He never once ever gave up,
he never gave up on me
If you could see who I was before,
then I'm sure that you will agree
