Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Trials, they are bound to come
and temptations, they keep me busy on the run
Dangers to the left and right
Living life isn't easy when you're living for Christ
But it is worth it, so, so worth it
(Chorus)
I will not give up I will not back down
I'm in this till the day my spirit goes up
and my flesh goes down
I'm in this till the day I die
And till that day comes I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus Christ
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I know you'll see me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
You're the one who gets me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I'm not giving up or backing down
(Verse 2)
I stumble, and I make mistakes
And that devil, tries to tell me it's over, it's too late
But I know what your word says
If I repent you're faithful to forgive & forget
So I will repent and I won't give up
(Chorus)
I will not give up I will not back down
I'm in this till the day my spirit goes up
and my flesh goes down
I'm in this till the day I die
And till that day comes I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus Christ
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I know you'll see me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
You're the one who gets me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I'm not giving up or backing down
(Bridge)
I will become what my eyes see, so Lord I'm keeping my eyes on thee
not on my mistakes and not on my failures
not on my brother, sister, or neighbor
but upon you, you alone
And until the day I kneel before your throne
I will not give up
(Chorus)
I will not give up I will not back down
I'm in this till the day my spirit goes up
and my flesh goes down
I'm in this till the day I die
And till that day comes I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus Christ
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I know you'll see me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
You're the one who gets me through
I'm keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on you
I'm not giving up or backing down
no-oo-oh-oh-oh
I'm not giving up or backing down
no-oo-oh-oh-oh
Let me make this clear
no matter what my fears
I'm not giving up or backing down
I'm not backing down
