Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’ve been counting pennies
Paycheck to Thursday night
Praying in the drive-thru
At that red stoplight
Phone full of “sorry, maybe”
Voicemails you don’t replay
But you still lace up your boots
And show up anyway
[Chorus]
Don’t give up your reward
It’s just around the corner
All these trials and tribulations
Ain’t your whole story, darling
You’re closer than you think
To the promise you’ve been holding
Don’t give up your reward
It’s waiting by the road you’re on
[Verse 2]
Mama’s hand-me-down Bible
Folded page at Romans eight
Coffee rings on the counter
Another early day you’re late
You talk tough in the mirror
But that crack shows when you blink
Still you straighten up your shoulders
Say “I’m stronger than I think” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Don’t give up your reward
It’s just around the corner
All these trials and tribulations
Ain’t your whole story, darling
You’re closer than you think
To the promise you’ve been holding
Don’t give up your reward
It’s waiting by the road you’re on
[Bridge]
Every tear you ever tasted
Every “not yet” you survived
Built a fire in your spirit
Put that diamond in your eyes
[Chorus]
Don’t give up your reward
It’s just around the corner
All these trials and tribulations
Are turning into glory, darling
You’re closer than you think
To the good He’s been unfolding
Don’t give up your reward
It’s waiting by the road you’re on
[Outro]
Yeah, it’s right there
Right there
By the road you’re on
