Don't Give Up
Don't give up,
Though the way seems long,
Don't give up,
Though all goes wrong.
The God you served
For many a year,
Is there to comfort
And dry your tears.
Have not you said
Many times before,
"Your life is a vapor,"
So trust Him more.
The God you served,
Who in His grace,
Led you and fed you,
Is still in His place.
The pit may be deep,
The walls may be tall,
But there's still a Deliverer
Who lifts when you fall.
Oh taste and see,
That He is good,
His mercy is there,
Though not understood.
Oh, don't give up,
Though the battle's long,
The God that has led you,
Will still make you strong.
Don't look on yourself,
And say that you've failed.
It's the Potter's right,
To do as He wills.
Give it to Jesus
The fear and the doubt,
The Lord Who's been with you,
Can still bring you out.

Is that the one that got published in that book several years ago?
Oh no. This is one that I wrote years before that one. It was written to Papa Billy Gene. That is why I put it here because he is on my mind a lot these days.
