Ain't Givin Up Hope (BDST Demo Version)

from Perseverance of the Saints (single) by Chris Marchand

/

about

This was one of the first songs Chris ever wrote, probably around 1998. It's a genre study really, although Chris didn't know it at the time. It's cliched in so many ways that it's either trite or it's an homage to a tradition. It could be both, but it's also the sincere cry of a pilgrim of faith.

lyrics

Ain't Giving Up Hope
Well I've been beaten up
And I've been beaten down
Been shown the misfortune of this world
But I ain't givin' up hope
And I ain't leavin' town
Cause my feet are on solid ground

And I ain't givin' up hope
No I ain't givin' up hope
I ain't giving up hope
I ain't givin' up hope
No I ain't giving up hope
Cause I know who my God is

Well I know how it feels to hurt
Know how it feels to grieve
And I know how it is to have your
Face rubbed in the dirt
And I know what it's like bein'
Humbled to your knees

But I ain't givin' up hope...

Well I've been extended the hand of grace
Been given the vine of peace
And all I had to do was look
In Jesus' sweet face
And he gave me all I ever did need.

So I ain't givin' up hope...no...
