Lord, give me strength to not give up,
And persevere to do your will;
When life seems to cave in on me,
Peace in my heart, Lord, then instill.

With strength I need to not give up,
Your way of life help me affirm.
No matter what others may think,
From your ways, Lord, help me not squirm.

Help me that I will not give up,
During times, both trying and good;
I know you want what's good for me,
Lord, by me, this is understood.

Lord, help me not give up on life.
Lord, help me during times of strife.
