Always Stay

I feel the pain,

melt in the flames

of Your refining fire.

Tears drench my shirt –

for what it’s worth,

my heart pours out to You.

 

You are the rock I’m crashed upon;

You are the one I sing this song to.

 

You burn away

what I hold dear,

and it brings me to my knees.

It hurts the most,

but it brings me close,

ever closer to my love.

 

You are the rock I’m crashed upon;

You are the one I sing this song to.

 

When springtime comes,

it warms my soul,

and I do not feel alone.

You’ll never leave me

how I am,

because one day, I’ll be your bride.

 

You are the rock I’m crashed upon;

You are the one I sing this song to.

 

I close my eyes,

I breathe Your name,

I put my hope in You.

My ship went out –

You’re still right here.

You’re the one who’ll always stay.

 

You are the One who’ll always stay.

You are the One who’ll always stay.
