I been walking through the valley
Through this veil of tears
At times I even question even if my Lord was near
Then at times that old tempter says why not turn around
You can't get any farther because you’re just losing ground
oh but I'm not giving up Oh I'm not turning around
By the grace of God I'll wear a shining crown someday
Well I'll keep holding on To that nail scarred hand
I'm not giving up No I'll keep going on
Would you mind to tell me there’s been something bothering me
Why is it that old devil just won't let God's children be
You see he has purposed and determined to get right in the
way
And turn us from the way of life and lead our souls astray
Oh but I'm not giving up Oh I'm not turning around
By the grace of God I'll wear a shining crown someday
Well I'll keep holding on To that nail scarred hand
I'm not giving up No I'll keep going on
Well I'm not giving up Giving up, no I'm not turning around
By the grace of God I'll wear shining crown someday
Well I'll keep holding on Holding on to that nail scarred hand
Oh no I'm not giving up No I'll keep holding on
Well I'll not giving up No I'm not turning around
By the grace of God I'll wear a shining crown someday
Yeah I'll keep holding on, holding on
to that nail scarred hand I'm not giving up
No I'll keep going on
