[Verse 1]
There is a whisper
A quiet invitation
Beckoning me to come
A hand of kindness
A good and trusting one
A hand that will never fail
[Pre-Chorus]
My bags are packed
But I'm glued to the phone
'Cause I've got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
So I stay
Yes, I stay
[Verse 2]
I have a mind that
Will wait for war to take its toll
Before it will still itself
But I've seen the face of love
A chest that warms and welcomes
A table that never fails
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh I've been running, I've been fading to grey
But I hear You calling my name
Your voice is singing out like fire in the rain
[Chorus]
So I stay
Yes, I stay
Oh Lord, I stay
Yes, I stay
[Bridge]
Oh You're not finished yet
This can't be where it ends
Come kick this barrenness out into the grave
You promised better yet
So I'm lookin' at You, my friend
[Chorus]
And I stay
Yes, I stay
Oh Lord, I stay
Yes, I stay
[Outro]
There is a whisper
A quiet invitation
Beckoning me to come
