"I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead." (Philippians 3:10-11)
Verse 1:
At the start the Father and the Son were together
But God so loved the world He sent His Son to die
Jesus took the punishment for me
Died on the cross so He could set me free
And this is love: that Christ still died while we were sinners
Verse 2:
God poured out His wrath on Jesus and the earth was filled with darkness
Jesus asked why had His Father forsaken Him
Our sin pushed Him away from God's presence
He was alone abandoned by His friends
Gave up His Spirit and He said it was over
Chorus:
But He didn't have to cut Him off
And forsake Him on the cross but God was up to something
Though we did not deserve His love
He welcomes us as children and His love's enough
Jesus didn't have to stoop so low
Dying on a sinner's cross for reconciliation
I know that He forgave me so
Jesus is somebody that I want to know
Verse 3:
Now and then I forget why I need a Savior
There are times I feel ashamed of all the wrong things that I've done
But I don't want to live that way
I want to follow every word You say
You said You'd never let me go
So I'll hold on to You, Jesus
You're somebody that I want to know
"If we give up on Him, He does not give up because He must be true to who He is." (2 Timothy 2:13)
Verse 1:
When You spread out Your arms wide and took that spear in Your side
Jesus, You bled and died and ransomed my soul
Bruised, beaten, and scarred Jesus You went so far
To bring me to where You are and You made me whole
Chorus:
God, You won't give up on us even when our lives get rough
You’ve given us all Your love
We’re lifting You up
Verse 2:
Jesus, You are full of grace
And when I’m found disobeying
You’ll always be patiently waiting
When I seek You I’ll find...
Chorus 2:
That even this world will fade but Jesus You remain
Forever You will reign
God, You are worthy
No, You won't give up
Bridge:
Lord I know that You’re not One to walk away so easily
You’re here to stay and make me new every single day
Even when I fall and even when I fail I know that Your grace covers me
And no matter what I can say
That in the end, You call me friend, You’re faithful to the end
You stay the same, You never change, You never fail
In You we find everything
You satisfy our every need
You never leave
Though all else fades, Your love remains
And we are Yours
Chorus 3:
God, You won't give up on us even when our lives get rough
You’ve given us all Your love
We’re lifting You up
Lifting You up
You won't give up on us
God, I know You’re enough
You are the Savior King
God, You are worthy
You won't give up on me
You gave Your life to set me free
Open my eyes to see the depths of Your love
And that You won’t give up
