[Spoken Intro] Folks will taking advantage of you because they believe you're too weak to speak up for yourself You don't have to speak up for yourself Be still and let God fight your battles Somebody come and go with me, friend! [Verse 1] There will be mountains that I will have to climb And there will be battles that I will have to fight But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide But how can I expect to win if I never try? [Chorus] I just can't give up now Come too far from where I started from Nobody told me the road would be easy And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me [Verse 2] Never said there wouldn't be trials Never said I wouldn't fall Never said that everything would go The way I want it to go But when my back is against the wall And I feel all hope is gone I'll just lift my head up to the sky And say, “Help me to be strong” [Chorus] I just can't give up now I've come too far from where I started from Nobody told me the road would be easy And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me [Bridge] No you didn't bring me out here to leave me lonely Even when I can't see clearly I know that you are with me, so I can't [Chorus - Variation] Oh, I just can't give up now Cause I've come too far from where I started from Nobody told me (nobody told me that the road would be easy) And I don't believe (don't believe) He's brought me this far to leave me And I can't give up now Yeah, just can't, oh Can't give up now Said I've come too far from where I started from Nobody told me (nobody told me that the road would be easy) And I don't believe (don't believe) He's brought me this far to leave me I just can't give up now I've come too far from where I started from Nobody told me the road would be easy (it's been a little rough but I don't believe) Don't believe, He's brought me this far to leave me (no no, no no) I can't give up now! I just can't give up now Said I've come too far Come too far from where I started from No one said it would be easy Nobody told me the road would be easy And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me [Outro] I don't feel no ways tired (Be still and let God fight your battles) I don't believe He's brought me this far (x8)
