Don't Give Up

As life is thrown my way
I think how can you love me after what I have done?
I come back to you covered in mud
And faithfully you clean me, pick me up and say

Keep pushing, don't give up
Push through the labor pains, don't give up
I'm right here, don't give up
Keep running, don't give up
I love you, don't give up
I'm holding your hand, don't give up
I'm right beside you, don't give up
I will carry you, don't give up
I will always love you, don't give up

Then I look in your eyes
Full of love indescribable
It flows like a river
Your love that is so sweet

Then I feel your arms wrapped tightly around me
The warm embrace that takes my disgrace
I fell protected and cared about
Loved more deeply than ever

I can see the holes in your wrists
The holes that made it possible
For me to be holy

Tears well up in my eyes
As I think about your love
What you went through just to be near me

I look back at your face
And see the smile that shines with grace
Mercy, love and passion as your eyes glisten with joy

"I love you" you say
"It was worth it, just for this moment"
"Let me take that" you say
As you reach over and throw away
The hat called condemnation
And the coat called lies

"I love you" you say
"You’re mine, yes it was worth it
Because you are now mine"
