YOU DON’T GIVE UP ON ME - OUT NOW
Truthfully, I sat here typing a description for hours… but I think the song itself says everything I want to say.
We’re human. We make mistakes. We slip up. And sometimes we don’t feel so great when we look back at things we've done, who we’ve been.
But what we sometimes forget is that our Father, Avinu - He never gives up on us, no matter how far we’ve gone. In His eyes, we’re trying, and that’s all He sees. And His love for us… it never runs out.
I dedicate this song to all those out there who needed this message today… I hope you know that there’s always a path for you, and it’s paved with nothing but acceptance and love and a Father who sees your heart above all.
A huge thank you to composer and songwriter Chayala Neuhaus for trusting me with this absolute masterpiece, and to Tzvi Blumenfeld of Freilach Band for taking the song to an entirely new level with the most delicate and masterful music that feels hand-crafted for this sound. Thank you to my team and my family (one and the same) who are a driving force behind everything I do. Thank you Hashem for the ability to share music with your children. It’s the greatest honor.
And to you, the listeners.
Thank you for being here, for listening, for your love and support, and your kind words always.
It is my deepest hope that this song floods your heart with love, resilience, and a gentle whisper to never give up, because He will never give up on you.
All my love,
Shaindy

LYRICS:
I come back to you with a pile of regret
I know I took this space and left it a mess
I've gotten lost too many times to count
And looked up at You
To bail me out
Not sure the choices that I made were the best
Chased a few dreams but I couldn't ace every test
This year You gave me, did I use it right?
I so wanted to do you proud
But You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see the part of you that's trying
You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see the part of you that's crying
For a second chance
I make mistakes, sometimes I trip up and fall
Look for a place to run and hide from it all
I've only got these human eyes to see things through
But You have faith in me
And I am a piece of You
But You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see the part of you that's trying
You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see the part of you that's crying
For a second chance
And Your love for me, Your love for me
Never runs out
And Your love for me, Your love for me
Never runs out
Oh, Your love for me, Your love for me
Never runs out
Oh, Your love for me, Your love for me
It never runs out
And You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see that I'm trying,
I'm trying, I'm trying
I know that You, You don't give up on me
You don't give up on me
'Cause You are my Father
And Fathers only see the part of you that's crying
For a second chance
I come back to You, still got a ways to go
Not just a fresh start 'cause this time I know
I don't need perfection, I'm not all figured out
But I'm gonna try, and I know that I
Will do You proud
