There’s never been a doubt
But sometimes I feel afraid
We need to talk it out
That always makes it o.k.

Sometimes friends don’t understand
The love I have for You,
But everywhere I go I know
I just want more of You.

I will never give You up Lord, not in a million years,
I will never give You up for as long as I live
I will never give You up Lord, not in a milion years,
‘Cause You have put this love inside my heart

I know You know me well
You know each struggle that’s in my mind
But since You hold my heart
I’ll leave the struggles behind

I don’t have to understand
This love I have for You
‘Cause everywhere I go I know
I just need more of You

I will never give You up Lord, not in a million years
I will never give You up, for as long as I live

I’m so glad I found You
Want to build my life around You
Oh, You’ve got to know that I’ll never let go of You
