May take a lot of years, may take a lot of tears,
May take a life of prayer, but I want to see you there,
May take a fight with Hell, but no matter what I can tell you...
I...oh, I...oh, I'm never gonna give up on you.

I remember when we first were friends; I'd sit on your steps and cry back then,
You stood by, helpless while my soul burned down,
Had no water, but you stuck around,
You were there when Jesus rescued me,
You were a witness when he set me free,
And now I...oh, I...oh, I'm never gonna give up on you.

I don't know what keeps your heart away, but I can tell you this: until I die, I'm always gonna pray that you will come to be his.

I'm gonna pray for you,
I'm gonna stand up for you,
Never gonna give up on you,
Never gonna give up,
Oh, I...oh, I...oh, I'm never gonna give up on you,
Never gonna give up on you.
