Still You Stay v3

Verse 1 I’ve been running on empty promises Chasing echoes that don’t reply Built my worth on the noise of approval But it never satisfied I’ve worn the mask, played the part Tried to be what they wanted to see But in the quiet, You called my name And You saw the real me Pre-Chorus I thought I had to earn Your love I thought grace was too good to be true Chorus But still You stay When I’m faithless, when I’m afraid When I fall on my knees with nothing to say Still You stay You don’t walk when I walk away You don’t leave when I’m lost in the blame Your mercy meets me where I am Still You stay Verse 2 I’ve been measuring life by the scoreboard Counting wins like they mean everything But the trophies fade and the cheers grow quiet And I’m left with the weight I bring You never asked me to save myself Never said I was on my own You stepped into my brokenness And called it home Pre-Chorus I laid my pride at the foot of the cross And found freedom I couldn’t lose Chorus Still You stay When I’m faithless, when I’m afraid When I fall on my knees with nothing to say Still You stay You don’t walk when I walk away You don’t leave when I’m lost in the blame Your mercy meets me where I am Still You stay Bridge You stay when the world says run You stay when the night feels long You stay when I can’t see straight When my hope feels gone You stay when my strength is gone When my prayers don’t sound like faith You stay, You stay, You stay Bridge (Build) Not because I’m strong Not because I’m right But because You are love And You gave Your life Chorus (Final) Still You stay Through the fire, through the rain Through every doubt that tries to make me afraid Still You stay Every promise, every word Every mercy I don’t deserve I’m standing in amazing grace Still You stay Outro So here I am, no more hiding now Just a heart that needs Your name I’m not holding on to who I was I’m holding on to who You say I am And still… You stay
