Can't Give Up Now
Mary Mary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Lord, yeah

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 the road would be easy
And I don't believe He's 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 I feel all hope is gone
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong, oh

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

Oh, I know You didn't bring me
Out here to leave me lonely, oh no
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 that the road would be easy
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me

I said I can't give up now
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'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 that the road would be easy
And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me

I can't give up now
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

I'll just lift my head up to the sky
I will turn to God for strength and guidance

I know that You are with me
I have faith that God is by my side


So I can't
I cannot give up or lose hope
