Love, Don't Give Up


Psalm 138:8

New International Version (NIV)


8 The LORD will vindicate me; 
   your love, LORD, endures forever— 
   do not abandon the works of your hands.

Paul Colman Trio - 5's and 6'

Take the things you say you want from me
Say ‘what’s mine is yours is mine’
But it’s your way every time

Which of your two faces should I greet?
Tell me how to read your double mind?
And why can’t you be
Why can’t you be true?

Please don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone on me
I’m in the dark all alone
I seem like the enemy
But something inside of me
Locked all the doors and won’t go, oh

I’m never sure which you I can believe
Life with you has worn me thin
Only God knows how hard
Only God knows how hard I’ve tried

Please don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone 
While it seems like I hate you, it’s me I despise
Speak to me tenderly
Speak to me truthfully
Cut through the chains of my lies

I just wanna leave
Wanna be safe
And go home
I don’t have what it takes
Oh to love you

Love it always trusts and always hopes
Love it never lets me go
But I’m just a broken heart before you
Caught between the 5’s and 6’s in this rhyme

Love can you find me?
Love can you see me?
Love can you hear me now?

Love don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone on me
Love be the light in the darkest night
Come and reside in me
Fill every part of me
Turn all the wrongs into right

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen

A Necessary Sacrifice

Hebrews 2:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
