I Gave Up Misery
by The Dixie Echoes

Album: 40th Anniversary - The Dixie Echoes Collection

I've heard people testify how they gave up so many things
I don't know I guess that might be true
You may think I'm different but that's allright with me
What did I give up? I gave up misery

I gave up sleepless nights, lonely days, nothing left to cling to
I gave up wandering aimlessly thru life
And now that Jesus saved me it feels so good to be free
Cause what did I give up? I gave up misery

I didn't give up riches for I none to give
I had no pleasure in living wretchedly
Oh but now I'll be a rich man throughout eternity
