Stay
Written April 22, 2019
How do I be here knowing what they believe How do I stay when they don’t see me How do we begin again when they want me to leave I only see slaves who don't want to be free How do I live where Light hasn't touched How do I let go when pain says enough How do I give when they don't want to receive I am tired of offering when they only take the best of me Maybe where heaven meets time and space There You will bring us to the Table of Grace Your cross will forgive all we never wanted to find When you bring us out of darkness where we still want to hide You patiently lead those who want the way out We abide in your kindness even in our doubt In just a moment our eyes will be opened to death passed away When we are ready to surrender and say we will stay
