YOU STAYED

When all my friends has left
and only fear remained
When no man s these answer
to my suffering and pain
When hopelessness at my doorstep
and the devil gladly appear
YOU Stayed

When joy was enclosed by sadness
and grieve my partner be
When strangers kept on staring
at that what s left of me
When those whom I v e once protected
shy away into an empty street
YOU Stayed

Today with YOU I proper
and my life a blessing be
Today Ive prayed for forgiveness
for in dark times fear I ve seen
Today I honour YOUR greatness
As YOU stayed to set me free
