Not Giving Up On You
Chris Renzema's song 'Not Giving Up On You' is a declaration of persistent faith in God despite cultural trends and personal doubts. The lyrics acknowledge that faith may seem outdated to some, but the singer remains committed, finding evidence of God in creation and admitting his own need for a savior. The song also touches on feelings of loneliness and spiritual exile, comparing the world to a ghost town, yet affirming that this life is just a temporary stop on the way to heaven. It encourages believers to hold on to their faith even when it feels countercultural or difficult.
I've heard faiths gone out of fashion
At least according to my old friends
Guess I've never been on to
Keep up with the modern trends
'Cause maybe I'm out of style
But whether or not that's true
When I look at the stars
All I see is You
I've heard Christ is a crutch
That messed up people use
To make it through life
When nothing else will do
Well maybe I'm broken
But I'm not ashamed to say
That I need someone to come save me
'Cause I'm not giving up on You
Oh I'm not giving up on You
Not giving up on You
This place feels like a ghost town
Where people used to live
All cleared out and broke down
From the move back to Egypt
And it feels lonely
But I know I'm not alone
It's just a pitstop
On my way back home
'Cause I'm not giving up on You
Oh I'm not giving up on You
Not giving up on You
'Cause I'm not giving up on You
Oh I'm not giving up on You
Not giving up on You
