Never Gave Up (Live)

Felt like the walls were closin' in

Hard to believe this ain't the end

I was hard-pressed

Broken

Hopeless

But then

You called me by name

Beckoned me to come

Gave me living water

You covered me with love

You silenced the shame

Kept Your arms wide open

And You never gave up

You waited so patiently

You waited for me

It was hard some days to love myself

Couldn't find the words for what I felt

I was depressed

Wounded

Helpless

Oh, but then

You called me by name

Beckoned me to come

Gave me living water

Covered me with love

You silenced the shame

You kept Your arms wide open

And You never gave up

You waited so patiently

You waited patiently

You waited patiently

Had every reason to give up on me

You were right there, You were right there

You were right there all of the time

Waiting for me

You didn't give up on me

So many others gave up on me, yeah

But You stood right there

(You waited for me)

And You waited, You waited, You waited, You waited

You waited, You waited, You waited, You waited

You waited, You waited for

(You waited for me)

With Your arms wide open

With Your arms wide open

(You waited for me)

Just like the prodigal son

You crowned me before You cleaned me, yeah

(You waited for me)

You crowned me before You cleaned me, yeah

You said I'm still Your child

You waited for me

(You waited for me)

And You crowned me with royalty, yeah

You waited for me, yeah

(You waited for me)

I should have given up

But You wouldn't let me give up

You waited for me

(You waited for me)

I was at the end of the road

And You were standing right there

You waited for me, yeah

(You waited for me)

He said, "It's not over for you

I've got more in store for You"

You waited for me

(You waited for me)

Oh, yes, You did

You waited for me, You waited for me

(You waited for me)

With Your arms wide open

You waited for me

You never gave up

You never gave up

You never gave up

You never gave up

You never gave up

You never gave up

You never gave up

You waited so patiently

You're a patient God

You're a patient God

You're not in a hurry

You know my end from the beginnin'

Teach me who I am

Oh, show me who I am

Show me who I am

Reveal to me who I am

I wanna see me like You see me

I wanna see me like You see me

I wanna see me through Your eyes

You never gave up

You waited so patiently
