Stay With Us
Track 5
We thought the story would end another way We held our hope until the sky went gray The road was long The sorrow longer still
And you drew near And walked with us in silence You asked us why As if you did not know
And somehow hearts can burn Before the eyes do Stay with us. Stay with us. Evening’s falling fast. Stay with us. Stay with us. Like a love that always lasts
We did not know, but we know now You were there the whole way down Stay with us
Stay with us He took the law, the prophets and the pain And lit the dark with every sacred page The cross looked like the end of everything
But broken bread would show the wounded glory You asked us why, as if you did not know And somehow hearts can burn before the eyes do Stay with us, stay with us, even if it’s falling fast.
Stay with us, stay with us, like love that always lasts.
We did not know, but we know now You were there the whole way down Stay with us
We miss you in our grief We miss you in the ache We call it just another road Another loss to take
But heaven walks beside us before the veil is gone And sometimes we know Jesus when the breaking starts Hearts were burning at the table When the bread was in your hands
Stay with us Stay with us
Evening’s falling fast
Stay with us Stay with us
Like a love that always lasts Now we know, now we see You were there in history Stay with us
Stay with us, stay with us You were there the whole time
