Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ok Mmmmmmmmm
God, didn't give up on me (didn't give up on me)
God, didn't give up on me (didn't give up on me)
When I gave up (well He didn't let me go)
And when I messed up (He restored my soul)
And Oh it was God, that didn't give up
Read in the paper the other day
about preacher fell from grace
he begged the church for forgiveness
he realized he made a mistake
And some folks left the church and said
your supposed to be a man of the cloth
see they forgot he was the same man
that prayed for them when they were lost
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
So Glad God is not like man
He won't throw you away after you've done wrong
But, he will pick you up and, dust you off
And put you back where you belong
[Refrain]
God, didn't give up on me (didn't give up on me)
God, didn't give up on me (didn't give up on me)
When I gave up (well He didn't let me go)
And when I messed up (He restored my soul)
Oh it was God, that didn't give up
Listen, now it's easy to point the finger
When the spotlights down on you
Well, and we would be suprised to see
If the truth come out on you
And you need to show a little mercy and grace
For somebody else
Oh, and take your foot off your brother
And consider yourself
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
So Glad God is not like man
He won't throw you away after you've done wrong
But, he will pick you up and, dust you off
And put you back where you belong
You'll never! (you'll never, never) No Never!
Never let me faaaall
When I need you, I can call you, call you
(Godddd Godddd Oh Oh) say [x7]
When I gave up
He didnt let me go
And when I messed up
you didnt give up on me
