No, I'll not turn away. I'll not turn from Him, who loves me so.
Who pours down His rich blessings on me, here below.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
How could I ever turn away from the one who suffered and died for me;
How could I reject the One, who from sin's dark power, and the devil's bondage, set me free?
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
I've had some dark days that have caused me both pain and sorrow;
But I still press on. I know who holds both today and tomorrow.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
I've struggled with shortcomings that have at times caused me grief;
But through faith in Him, I have found a blessed relief.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
Though devils attack me, and the world wants me to fail;
My faith and hope is built on him. In Him, I stand. In Him, I prevail.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
Because my faith and hope is built on Him, I'll stand;
I'll not fall nor stumble, for I rest firmly in His hand.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not fall away.
No, I'll not fall away. I'll not deny the one whom I love;
I'll press on in Him, until I've made it to my heavenly home above.
I'll cling to Jesus, for He is my strength each day;
No matter what comes, I'll walk with Him. No, I'll not turn away.
