Don’t Give Up

Don’t Give Up Don’t give up your calling; don’t give up God’s grace. Don’t give up your smile; put on a happy face. Don’t give up your dreams and don’t respond in doubt. Just pick up all the pieces and give yourself a shout. For when the enemy tries to defeat you And you’re feeling […]

Covered
