Sometimes it's all I can do to take another step <br />Then God reminds me gently of the promises He's kept <br />At times I want to say I quit I've had all I can take <br />It's hard to live by my own words I feel like such a fake <br />I've tried so hard to be a light so that the Lord above <br />Could use me as a vessel to eminate His love <br />Giving up is not an option I've trusted God too long <br />Even though my way is rough He keeps me safe and strong <br />I know God is on my side the victory has been won <br />By the power of the blood of Jesus Christ His son <br />Lord don't let me loose my faith help me to live each day <br />Contented in your love and peace as you gently lead the way.<br /><br />Joye Atkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-not-give-up/
