I finally rearranged my closet
And took those old books off the shelf
I ran across my high school annual
I saw an awful picture of myself
I read the lines there in the jacket
The words there left me feeling sad
And when I happened on your note there
I wondered at the wisdom you had

Never give up, never give in
You said, Never give up, never give in
Never forget me when you need a friend
Never give out, never turn back
Never let hard times push you off the track
Never look back

And isn't it just like God's wisdom
To put grace where He plans to lead
Today I needed grace to find me
And your words were there to meet my need

Never give up, never give in
You said, Never give up, never give in
Never forget me when you need a friend
Never give out, never turn back
Never let hard times push you off the track
Never look back
