I'm not about to quit
When the battle I fight, sometimes gets so hard, and it seems I surely will fall
and the mountain I climb, oppresses my mind, when I see, I see just how tall
the rivers so wide, the valley's so low, as low as it seems I can get
But I will come out, with a victory shout, and I'm not about, I'm not about to quit.
I read of a man, in a far distant land, who wrestled with an angel all night.
He prayed and he prayed, he stayed and he stayed, and he put up a mighty good fight.
as the angel pulled away,Ole Jacob did say, while the dawn was breaking amidst.
"My patience you're testing, but I want my blessing, and I'm not about, I'm not about to quit.
For thirty long days, nobody could pray, to Daniel a message was sent
Oh you'll make a feast for some ole hungry beast, that's down in that old lion's den
And on that next morning, the King came mourning, Daniel, friend, how is it?
He said King live forever, my God has delivered, and I'm not about, I'm not about to quit.
Ole Job, he was tried, he prayed and he cried, when everything around him was gone,
his cattle, his wealth, his friends and his health, his children and everything that he owned,
Just curse God and die, was his wife's reply, in ashes where Job humbly sat.
He said “I'll have you to know, I'll come forth like gold, and I'm not about, I'm not about to quit.
Well Peter and John, in Jesus name, healed the man at the beautiful gate.
The rulers rose up and said this must stop, their hearts were so filled with hate.
"If you preach again in this Man's name, it will surely bring you regret"
Said Peter and John, "We've just begun, and we're not about,we're not about to quit."
Like Peter and John, we've a message to preach, and it's written down deep in our hearts.
A message of hope, deliverence from sin, from the world it will set us apart.
We have a desire to climb up higher. Higher than we've been yet.
We're striving for the Bride, we'll not be denied, and we're not about, we're not about to quit.
Chorus:
I'm not about to quit, I mean to make it, make it all the way
I'm not about to quit, I mean to see Jesus, Jesus sweet face
I may stumble down, and feel unworthy, sometimes I feel so unfit
But there's one thing about it, and you can go shout it
I'm not about, I'm not about to quit.
Hopefully, this helps. I was able to find some verses for this song. My daughter sang this at church, beautiful song!
