Mama sits at her bed side with watery eyes
And her son ain't been home in a week
She tries to tell herself, that everythings alright
But I can see, the pain in mama's eyes
Mama grabs her bible and she read another verse
And prays to God her boy will be home soon

(Chorus)
Mama wont give up(x2)
All the odds are stacked against her
But thats not a reason enough
Mama wont give up

Theres a knock at the door, and the clock reads 4am
And her son is back but he's beaten black and blue
And he says Mama I cant take this life no more
I'm here to tell you bye for good, im through
Mama grabs her bible and she reads her son a verse
She says boy you can do all things to Christ who strengthens you

Mama wont give up(x2)
All the odds are stacked against her
But thats not a reason enough
Mama wont give up

Well I know this story about, mama and her son all too well
That long, ago that beaten boy was me
But through the Lords great love and mercies that never failed
Im here today to tell you that Jesus saves

And He wont give up
Jesus won't give up
Though you turn your back against Him
Thats not a reason enough
Jesus won't give up
He wont give up
He wont give up
