Shout out to Brandon Lake. What a voice for Christ! If you haven’t listened to this song already, please listen!
Here is a link: Don’t You Give Up on Me
But what does this song mean to me? I started listening to it around April. I listened to it once, and it hit my soul.
Here is how I listen to the song and sing it back to God, instead of singing it from God’s perspective, which the song is based on, I sing it based on me speaking to God.
Brandon Lake Lyrics:
I see you, child
Though you can’t see me
And I know your thoughts
Before you even think
I heard every last prayer you prayed
Though I answered all the time
You just didn’t hear my reply
And I know it’s not easy, oh
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
‘Cause the darker the night gets
The brighter the light hits
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
You ain’t seen what I promised
Child, we’re just getting started
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’ll be your way
When there’s no way out
And I’ll be your strength
When your strength runs out
And if you walk into the fire
I’ll be right there in the flames
I wouldn’t have it any other way
‘Cause loving you is easy, yeah
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
‘Cause when the night’s at its darkest
That’s when the light hits the hardest
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
You ain’t seen what I promised
Child, we’re just getting started
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I’ve got more dreams
I’ve got more plans
I’ve got more blessings
Don’t lose your hope
Don’t lose your faith
That’s where your fight is
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I’ve got more dreams
I’ve got more plans
I’ve got more blessings
Don’t lose your hope
Don’t lose your faith
That’s where your fight is
I’ve got more dreams
I’ve got more plans
I’ve got more blessings
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
So much, so much
So much more
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
When the night’s at its darkest
That’s when the light hits the hardest
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
‘Cause you ain’t seen what I promised
Child, we’re just getting started
Open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
And open your heart
Open your hands
Open your eyelids
I got more dreams
I got more plans
I got more blessings
Don’t you give up on me
Don’t you give up on me
How I sing the song:
You see me, God
Though I can’t see You
And You know my thoughts
Before I even think
You heard every last prayer I prayed
Though You answered all the time
I just didn’t hear Your reply
And You know it’s not easy, oh
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
‘Cause the darker the night gets
The brighter the light hits
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
I ain’t seen what You promised
God, You’re just getting started
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
You’ll be my way
When there’s no way out
And You’ll be my strength
When my strength runs out
And if I walk into the fire
You’ll be right there in the flames
You wouldn’t have it any other way
‘Cause loving me is easy, yeah
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
‘Cause when the night’s at its darkest
That’s when the light hits the hardest
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
I ain’t seen what You promised
God, You’re just getting started
Open my heart
Open my hands
Open my eyelids
You’ve got more dreams
You’ve got more plans
You’ve got more blessings
Don’t lose my hope
Don’t lose my faith
That’s where my fight is
You got more dreams
You got more plans
You got more blessings
Open my heart
Open my hands
Open my eyelids
You’ve got more dreams
You’ve got more plans
You’ve got more blessings
Don’t lose my hope
Don’t lose my faith
That’s where my fight is
You’ve got more dreams
You’ve got more plans
You’ve got more blessings
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
Oh-oh-oh-oh
There is so much more
So much, so much
So much more
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
When the night’s at its darkest
That’s when the light hits the hardest
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
‘Cause I ain’t seen what You promised
God, You’re just getting started
Open my heart
Open my hands
Open my eyelids
You got more dreams
You got more plans
You got more blessings
And open my heart
Open my hands
Open my eyelids
You got more dreams
You got more plans
You got more blessings
I won’t give up on You
I won’t give up on You
It is very humbling knowing that God is speaking to us when we listen to that song, and how we can praise Him singing it as well! Once we realize that God is always there telling us to keep going, keep fighting, don’t lose hope, don’t lose our faith, THAT’S WHERE OUR FIGHT IS! He has more dreams, more plans, more blessings!
So open your heart, open your hands, and open your eyelids, realize that God is always with us, encouraging us always; He never leaves.
Blessed are those who believe, yet do not see!
