Lord Don't Give up on Me

I've worn these old boots thin with sorrow, Walking roads I chose alone. Built my life on pride and promises, Now all I own are broken stones. The chair beside me still sits empty, Her picture hasn't left the walls. The silence knows my name by heart, It echoes through these halls. I've wandered farther than I should've, But I'm still calling out Your name. Lord, don't give up on me. I'm not the man I used to be. I've fallen more times than I can count, But I'm down here on my knees. If mercy still has one more river, Wash this weary soul clean. Lord, don't give up on me, 'cause I still believe. I've asked forgiveness from the mirror, But mirrors never set men free. Only You can lift the burden I've carried for so many years. Like Peter when the rooster called, Like David after all he'd done, I know broken hearts can still come home If they'll only turn and run. You never promised skies without storms. You never promised tides which cease. But You promised, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So tonight, I'm holding on to that promise. Lord, don't give up on me. Your grace is all that's keeping me. When this whole world has turned away, You're still reaching out to me. To take these empty hands, this broken heart, The man I couldn't be. Lord, don't give up On me. Because You never Gave up On me. Amazing grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was Lost, but now I'm found.
