There is no hope up in your eyes

As if the blue had left your skies

The sadness fills your cheeks of stone

Maybe you believe you are alone



Your face is shone with quiet despair

As if this was what you chose to wear

Your sin you strap upon your chest

As if there was no longer rest, longer rest



Take hold, don't give up

You got to make the best of what you got

Give it all your best shot

(X2)



Take hold, don't give up



Your heart seems to have hit the floor

But I do believe you're meant to soar

The enemy's wounds, they must go deep

But I pray the Lord your soul to keep



There is no taking back those days are gone

But now it's your chance just to move on

Make the best of the life you live

'Cause before Him you soon will give

You soon will give



Take hold, don't give up

You got to make the best of what you got

Give it all your best shot

(X2)



Take hold, don't give up



*instrumental*



Take hold, don't give up

You got to make the best of what you got

Give it all your best shot

(X2)



Take hold, don't give up
