I Will Stay
words and music © Dale Sechrest 2006

It's not my aim
to try and be
something I can never be

Still I try
to be more than I am
what I am called to achieve

Do not look on the outside
Do not look upon the road behind
Look inside as deep as you can
Don't be afraid of what you do not find

Empty your mind
Empty your head
Empty out all of the day
Let My hand cover you
Let My love pour over you
And I will stay
I will remain
I will stay
I will remain

I can't keep the world away 
but I won't leave you on your own
I will stay
I'll never leave

Though it seems that others leave you
I will never go away
I will stay
I will remain
I will stay
