Mama sits at her bed side with watery eyes
|
And her son ain't been home in a week
|
She tries to tell herself, that everythings alright
|
But I can see, the pain in mama's eyes
|
Mama grabs her bible and she read another verse
|
And prays to God her boy will be home soon
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Mama wont give up(x2)
|
All the odds are stacked against her
|
But thats not a reason enough
|
Mama wont give up
|
|
|
Theres a knock at the door, and the clock reads 4am
|
And her son is back but he's beaten black and blue
|
And he says Mama I cant take this life no more
|
I'm here to tell you bye for good, im through
|
Mama grabs her bible and she reads her son a verse
|
She says boy you can do all things to Christ who strengthens you
|
|
Mama wont give up(x2)
|
All the odds are stacked against her
|
But thats not a reason enough
|
Mama wont give up
|
|
Well I know this story about, mama and her son all too well
|
That long, ago that beaten boy was me
|
But through the Lords great love and mercies that never failed
|
Im here today to tell you that Jesus saves
|
|
And He wont give up
|
Jesus won't give up
|
Though you turn your back against Him
|
Thats not a reason enough
|
Jesus won't give up
|
He wont give up
|
He wont give up
|
