I Will Stay Poem by Nikolai Curtis

Verse 1
When I was dead, heading for destruction
You were calling my name
I was filthy and unclean
But You still loved me

When I felt like I could never be alive
You sacrificed your son
You provided a way for me
So I can be made alive by faith

Pre-Chorus
You have set me free from sin and shame
Establishing me in your Grace
I will always trust in Jesus Christ alone to save me
For he has made me alive in him

Chorus
I will stay in your presence
You are my Joy, Peace and Righteousness
I will persevere under trial
For I know you are by my side always

You are always faithful to me
You are my great sheppard
I can always count on you in my life
For you are always there in my time of need

For You love never fails
I long to be with you everyday
I will stay
For I am secure in your arms

Verse II
When I was sick unto death
You brought healing to me
You made a way
when there seemed to be no way

When I was abused and neglected
You brought deliverence and peace
You were there for me in time of need
And healed my wounds with your blood and tears

Bridge:
When I fall short of expectations
You always get me back on track
For my trust is in you
You loved me when I was down
You loved me when I was up
You love me no matter what
