[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, Father...
[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
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
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]
(I just can't)
I just can't give up now
('Cause I've come too far from where I started from)
Come too far from where I started from
(Nobody told me, told me that the road would be easy)
Nobody told me the road would be easy
(But hey I don't believe, don't believe)
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me
(To leave me, no)
[Chorus]
(Said I can't give up now)
I just can't give up now
(I just can't oh, can't give up now)
(Said I've come too far, too far from where I started from)
Come too far from where I started from
(Nobody told me that the road, not gonna be)
Nobody told me the road would be easy
(But hey I don't believe, don't believe)
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me
(No no no no no no, to leave me)
[Chorus]
(Sweet Lord carried me through desperation)
I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
(See the Bible said "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit")
Nobody told me the road would be easy
(Ay! It's been a little rough but I don't believe, don't believe)
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me
(Oh, no, no, no, no)
[Chorus]
(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
(From where I started, no one said it would be easy)
Nobody told me the road would be easy
(I said nobody, nobody, told me that the road would be)
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me
(Ay I don't believe, to leave me)
[Outro]
I don't feel no ways tired
I don't believe He's brought me this far
I don't believe He's brought me this far
I don't believe He's brought me this far
(I don't believe He's brought)
I don't believe He's brought me this far
(He, he's brought me)
I don't believe He's brought me this far
(I don't believe, no)
(Be still) I don't believe He's brought me this far
(Hallelujah, no no)
I don't believe He's brought me this far
(I don't, I don't believe)
I don't believe He's brought me this far5
