This song, Can't Give Up Now sung by Mary, Mary serves as an encouragement to anyone weathering the storm of trials, temptations and other difficulties that life on this side presents. It helps us to remember that God is a God of love and He does care for us. However, it presents realism; we will have to face struggles that will test our faith and hope and cause us to have to choose whether we will allow the tough places in life to make us bitter or better.
Better is always a better choice.
The words follow. Go to the You Tube link noted below to hear the song being sung. Sing along. Think about your situation and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you. The joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), that is, if you choose to face your problems turning them over to the Lord and seeking Him for His way of handling them (I Corinthians 10:13).
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.
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me that the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
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 when I feel all hope is gone,
And when I feel all hope is gone,
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong
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 brought me this far to leave me
Hook:
I know 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)
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 brought me this far to leave me
Do your best to give God praise and and put your focus on Him and His goodness in your life. No matter what your circumstance, trust Him. Keep your hope in Him, no matter what it looks like. Renew your mind as you examine whether you are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Is your faith based only upon what God does for you or rather upon Who He is? God is with you! He will never ever leave you or forsake you! Connect with Him in prayer or in praise in worship, or reading His Word. Choose God. He is the only One who has the power to help you and see you through. And beside all of this, He loves you with covenant love!
