Lyrics
Poem "Stay with us" by Mike King.
Stay With Us
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
Hear my prayer, oh Lord,
And be with me this night.
Guide me tomorrow
Into your Son?s light.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
Hear my cries, oh Lord,
For tender is your mercy.
Great is your justice.
Defend me from Satan fiercely.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
Your name is revered among nations.
Holy are your ways.
Love and kindness abound.
Grant me peaceful days.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
Loving are your judgments, Lord,
Generous is your forgiveness.
Teach me the ways of your heart.
Bring me to your love?s fullness.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
The great shall acknowledge you, Lord,
The meek and humble find refuge.
Compassion is your crown.
Your grace comes in a deluge.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
Great is your kingdom, Lord,
Endless is your reign.
For in the heart of all,
You remove the pain.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
I look to the dawn, Lord,
Whence shall come another day.
Grant me the peace, Lord,
To serve you in every way.
Stay with us, Lord,
For the evening is upon us
And the day is spent.
