I Gave It Up

(album: Just James - 2009)

[Hook:]
Can't you see I'm striving for
His favor in His purpose
My temple is His resting place
While I give Him my service

[Verse 1:]
God is working on me
Opened my eyes now I see
Reconstructed my body
Now the urge I had is deceased
My haters came and then fled
God sewed up my head
Sealed his word in my heart
Smoothed out all of my scars

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm persuaded I'll let nothing
Seperate me from His loving
Life nor death, height nor depth
Will not sway me away form Him
(Because I gave it up)

[Chorus: x4]
I gave it up, I gave it up
And I ain't going back there no more

[Verse 2:]
Some of you are looking at me
Because you can't believe what you see
He can do the same for you
But you may have to fall on your knees
Some of your friends can't go
You gotta learn how to just say say no
Hide His word in your heart
And get you brand new start

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus x4]

[Hook:]
Can't you see I'm striving for
His favor in His purpose
My temple is His resting place
While I give Him my service
I gotta keep it clean
Gotta keep it Holy
And real
(He fixed me up amd I'm never going back)

I won't turn back
