VERSE 1
SOMETIMES I WANT TO GIVE UP - PUT MY HANDS UP
LORD, TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME
I CANT SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT - DO IT RIGHT
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
THE SPIRIT IS THIRSTY
AND MY SOUL IS HURTING
FRUSTRATION IS BEATING ME DOWN
THE THINGS I DON'T WANNA DO
ARE THE SAME THINGS I YIELD TO
MY FLESH WANTS TO BE IN CONTROL
BUT THERE'S STRENGTH DEEP INSIDE ME
HE PUSHES ME TO KEEP FIGHTING
AND I'VE GOTTA GET UP FROM HERE
FOR MY BREAKTHROUGH IS ALMOST RIGHT HERE
CHORUS
KEEP PRESSING; KEEP PUSHING
I CAN MAKE IT; DON'T LOSE IT
KEEP STRIVING; KEEP FIGHTING
I CAN WIN; THIS WON'T BREAK ME DOWN
GOTTA BE STRONG; GOTTA CARRY ON
CAN'T GIVE UP; KEEP HOLDING ON
YOU CAN DO THIS; YOU WERE CHOSEN AND
DESTINED TO SURVIVE
VERSE 2
THERE ARE TIMES THE WAY GETS HARD
AND LIFE WILL LEAVE SOME BATTLE SCARS
BUT YET WILL I TRUST YOU
CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO COMFORT ME
WHEN I FACE MY ADVERSITY
SO THROUGH THESE TEARS AND ALL MY FEARS
I'M RUNNING; I'M DRAWING NEAR
CHORUS
KEEP PRESSING; KEEP PUSHING
I CAN MAKE IT; DON'T LOSE IT
KEEP STRIVING; KEEP FIGHTING
I CAN WIN; THIS WON'T BREAK ME DOWN
GOTTA BE STRONG; GOTTA CARRY ON
CAN'T GIVE UP; KEEP HOLDING ON
YOU CAN DO THIS; YOU WERE CHOSEN AND
DESTINED TO SURVIVE
BRIDGE
THERE WERE TIMES I KNOW I CAME SO CLOSE
TO THROWING IT ALL AWAY
ALL THE PAIN IN LIFE - THE DARKEST NIGHTS
EVEN FOUND IT HARD TO PRAY
BUT I'VE COME TOO FAR TO GIVE UP NOW
SO YES I'LL STAND MY GROUND
FOR GREATER IS HE THAT'S WITHIN ME
IN HE I FIND MY DESTINY
CHORUS
KEEP PRESSING; KEEP PUSHING
I CAN MAKE IT; DON'T LOSE IT
KEEP STRIVING; KEEP FIGHTING
I CAN WIN
BE STRONG; CARRY ON
CAN'T GIVE UP; KEEP HOLDING ON
YOU CAN DO THIS; YOU WERE CHOSEN
AND DESTINED TO SURVIVE
