(Intro)
(Kirk Franklin)
Ah Yeah, Livin' Holy In The Night On The Gospel Tip, Uh!
Yeah, This Time Brought My Family and Some Friends
Just To Tell You No Matter But Hard You Gets, No Matter
How Rough Every Brother Every Sister Our Thing
Listen, Don't Give Up
(Verse 1)
(Donald Lawrence)
I know the day is dim chances may be slim hold on to what you believe, yeah
(Hezekiah Walker)
I know it hurts inside, sometimes you sit and cry, you gotta hold on to what you believe
(Bridge)
(The Family)
Trouble only lasts for a while
(HW)
But joy's gonna come with the morning light
(The Family)
And to every life, some rain must fall
(HW)
But trials come to make you strong
(Chorus)
Ohh my brother don't give up you just keep on hanging on, be strong
Ohh my sister don't give in, you just keep the faith and you, will win
Don't give up
(Verse 2)
(Karen Clark-Sheard)
My mama always said, never to lose my head, when problems seem to surround me (when problems surround me)
So when my day gets bad, I think of what she said, and I take it to God in prayer
(Bridge)
Trouble only lasts for a while
But joy's gonna come with the morning light
And to every life, some rain must fall
But trials come to make you strong
(Chorus)
Ohh my brother don't give up, you just keep on hanging on, be strong
Ohh my sister don't give in, you just keep the faith and you, will win
Don't give up
(Bridge 2)
Everybody say hang on (hang on)
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Say hang on (Hang on)
Don't give up (Don't give up)
(Bridge)
Trouble only lasts for a while
But joy's gonna come with the morning light
And to every life, some rain must fall
But trials come to make you strong
(Chorus) X2
Ohh my brother don't give up you just keep on hanging on, be strong
Ohh my sister don't give in, you just keep the faith and you, will win
Don't give up
