NEVER SAY DIE
Petra Lyrics

You've been tossing in your sleep
You're restless and troubled, unable to find peace.

All the promises you made that you couldn't keep
You feel guilty for breaking the promises you made to God and to yourself.

And you're feeling sorry for yourself
You're consumed by self-pity and are unable to see beyond your own suffering.

Think He's done with you, had Him on the shelf
You think God has given up on you, and you've lost faith in Him.

And you're tired of running the race
You've lost the drive to keep going and have become tired of the ongoing struggle.

Straying to and fro, falling on your face
You've lost your way and have been making mistakes that have caused you to stumble and fall.

Oh, you want to throw your towel on in
You've given up and are ready to quit.

Brother, before you do, you better think again
You should reconsider before giving up and walking away completely.

Never say die, no
You should never give up, and continue to push forward, no matter what.

You've come too far to turn back now
You've made too much progress to give up or go back to your old ways.

Give it one more try and He'll help you through
If you try again, God will be there to guide and support you through the struggle.

We are weak but He is strong
Even though we are weak and imperfect, God is always strong, and will give us the strength we need to persevere.

and strength He will supply
God will provide us the necessary strength to overcome whatever challenges we face.

When you ask Him to
However, we must first turn to God and ask Him for his aid.

You went wrong, you remember when
You made a mistake, and you haven't been able to move past it.

Instead of pressing toward the mark you missed it once again
You failed to reach your goals and became distracted, losing focus.

And you think that you're the only one
You feel isolated and alone, as if no one else could possibly understand your experiences.

Who's ever come your way and done what you have done
You feel unique in your struggles and challenges, as if no one else has experienced what you have.

So you try to tuck your tail and run
You feel like you're running away from your problems, and trying to avoid dealing with them.

But then you realize you're back where you've begun
You realize that running away hasn't solved anything, and you're back to facing the same struggles.

Oh can't you see Him waiting there for you?
God is always waiting for us, ready to help and guide us through our difficulties.

With arms wide open now, wanting to see you through
God is ready to embrace and support us, hoping that we will turn to Him for help.

Press on, press on
We must continue forward, even when it feels impossible, and keep pushing ourselves harder and harder.

Keep your hand upon that plow
We should remain focused and committed to the task at hand, even when it's difficult.

And he will lead you through somehow
If we continue to have faith and trust in God, He will help us navigate through our struggles and come out the other side.
