Father, for me, the time has now come
Fulfilling the words that were said by your Son
If they persecuted me, then they’ll do it to you
It’s not a surprise, really, nothing that’s new
Jehovah, I pray, please let me be strong
My life and devotion, to you they belong

My record of faith will never be lost
I’ll be loyal to you no matter the cost
I’ll never give in to taunts or to threats
Enduring in faith, I’ll have no regrets
To suffer these things for the sake of your name
I count as an honor, I won’t be ashamed

I won’t give up, won’t turn aside
I won’t give up, and I won’t run and hide
Let me be strong, let me be true
Carrying on, trusting in you
I won’t give up

You’ve trusted in me, I’ve trusted in you
Each trial I face, you help me get through
No king and no ruler, no fam’ly or friend
Can make me lose sight of the prize at the end

I won’t give up, won’t turn aside
I won’t give up, and I won’t run and hide
Let me be strong, let me be true
Carrying on, trusting in you
I won’t give up, won’t turn aside

I won’t give up, and I won’t run and hide
Let me be strong, let me be true
Carrying on, trusting in you
I won’t give up
