DON’T LEAVE IT HERE
[Verse 1]
I thought the road would get much easier
The day I gave my heart to You,
But following the King of Heaven
Doesn’t mean the battle’s through.
When the world comes hard against me,
When the arrows start to fly,
I’ll remember who is with me,
And I’ll lift my weary eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
The fire doesn’t mean You’ve left me,
The pressure doesn’t mean I’m alone,
Sometimes the target on my back
Is proof Your hand is on my soul.
[Chorus]
Don’t leave it here, don’t lay it down,
Don’t let the fear turn you around.
When the battle’s getting louder,
Let your faith rise above the sound.
Run to the Rock, run to the King,
Run to the One who changes everything.
What He brought you through before
Will be your shelter through the storm.
Don’t leave it here—
Keep holding on.
[Verse 2]
I’ve run to things that couldn’t save me,
Chased a peace that wouldn’t stay,
But every road away from Jesus
Only led my heart astray.
Now I know where I am running
When the enemy draws near,
To the arms that never fail me,
To the love that casts out fear.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The same God who split the waters
Is the God who makes a way,
What delivered me in yesterday
Will protect my steps today.
[Chorus]
Don’t leave it here, don’t lay it down,
Don’t let the fear turn you around.
When the battle’s getting louder,
Let your faith rise above the sound.
Run to the Rock, run to the King,
Run to the One who changes everything.
What He brought you through before
Will be your shelter through the storm.
Don’t leave it here—
Keep holding on.
[Bridge — Call and Response]
When opposition comes—
I WILL STAND!
When I don’t understand—
I’M IN HIS HANDS!
When the enemy says run—
I’LL RUN TO YOU!
The God who brought me out
Will bring me through!
What was deliverance then—
IS PROTECTION NOW!
What You taught me in the valley
WILL NOT LET ME DOWN!
I won’t surrender what You started,
I won’t turn away in fear,
You didn’t bring me this far
To leave it here!
[Breakdown]
I’m not running from the battle,
I’m running to Your throne.
I’m not trusting in my own strength,
I’m trusting You alone.
[Final Chorus — Full Choir]
Don’t leave it here, don’t lay it down,
Don’t let the fear turn you around.
When the battle’s getting louder,
Let your faith rise above the sound.
Run to the Rock, run to the King,
Run to the One who changes everything.
What He brought you through before
Will be your shelter through the storm.
Don’t leave it here—
Keep holding on.
[Outro]
The same God then,
The same God now,
You brought me through,
You won’t fail me now.
Don’t leave it here…
Keep holding on.
