I Will Not Lay Down
Margaret Becker
I'm not gonna write
About the way things have been
'Cause lately they haven't been so great
I keep falling down
I keep giving in
I'm scared this is my fate
If this is all that life would be
If this is all there was for me
I would not go on
CHORUS 1
I will not lay down
This won't be my end
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
I'm not gonna lie
About feeling fine
And knowing everything's okay
I just gotta believe
That His hope inside
Will lead me to a better place
With every tear that I cry
I cling to the hope that will not die
He won't leave me here
CHORUS 2
I will not lay down
This won't be my end
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
I will not lay down
I'll be alright again
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)
Stand up now, He'll carry your weight
(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)
You're not alone, He is your strength
CHORUS 2
