I Will Not Lay Down - Margaret Becker

I’m not gonna write

About the way things have been

'Cause lately they haven’t been so great

I keep falling down, I keep giving in

I’m scared this is my fate

If this is all that our life would be

If this is all there was for me

I would not go on

I will not lay down

This won’t be my end

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

I’m not gonna lie about feeling fine

And knowing every thing’s okay

I just gotta believe, that His hope inside

Will lead me to a better place

With every tear that I cry

I cling to the hope that will not die

He won’t leave me here

I will not lay down

This won’t be my end

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

I will not lay down

I’ll be alright again

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

No

(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)

Stand up now, He’ll carry the weight

(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)

You’re not alone, He is your strength

(We shall overcome)

(We shall overcome)

He will come

He will come, ooh

He will come, I know, I know

I will not lay down

(I will not)

This won’t be my end

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

I will not lay down

(I will not)

I’ll be alright again

(I will not)

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

I will not lay down

(I will not)

This won’t be my end

I will not lay down

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

(I will not)

(I will not)

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)

(I will not)

(I will not)

(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
