From the recording "Down, But Not Out"
"Down, But Not Out" is based on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9. It reminds us that God is at work in our lives no matter what we experience and regardless of our circumstances. Further, all of our trials and tribulations are opportunities for Jesus Christ to demonstrate His power and presence in and through us.

Verse 1
I’ve been torn down, worn down, worn out
Struck down, three strikes I’m out
I’m feelin’ down and out
Can’t figure out a way out
I’ve been broke down, beat down, beat up
Hung up by all my hang-ups
Strugglin’ to keep my head up
Jesus, please help me get up
Cuz I may be down
But I’m not out
Down, but not out
Chorus
I’ve been hard-pressed, but I’m not crushed
Perplexed, but not in despair
When I feel down and out from every up and each down
Upon the Lord, I will cast my care
I’ve been persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down, but I’m not destroyed
When I feel down and out from every up and each down
In endless praise, I will raise my voice
Cuz I may be down
But I’m not out
Down, but not out
Verse 2
I’ve been roughed up, run down, run out
Burned out from this burn-out
I’m feelin’ down and out
My heart feels like it’s ripped out
I’ve been knocked out, knocked down, let down
Shaken from this shake-down
Struggles have stripped me down
But Jesus won’t let me stay down
Cuz I may be down
But I’m not out
Down, but not out
Chorus
I’ve been hard-pressed, but I’m not crushed
Perplexed, but not in despair
When I feel down and out from every up and each down
Upon the Lord, I will cast my care
I’ve been persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down, but I’m not destroyed
When I feel down and out from every up and each down
In endless praise, I will raise my voice
Cuz I may be down
But I’m not out
Down, but not out
Bridge
When I feel down and out
That’s when God lifts me up
Out of the pit
That I’ve been in
When I feel down and out
God will not let me down
He lifts me up
He picks me up
Cuz I may feel down
But I’m not out
Down, but not out
Final Chorus
I’ve been hard-pressed, but I’m not crushed
Perplexed, but not in despair
Although I may feel down, I realize I’m not out
For it’s the crushed in spirit, You will spare
I’ve been persecuted, not abandoned
Struck down, but I’m not destroyed
Although I may feel down, I realize I’m not out
In Your deliverance, I will rejoice
Cuz I may feel down
For the count
But I’m not out
Down oo oo oo but not out
