You Stayed – Written by Zabbai ft. Chad Wade

Verse 1:
When I look back
There was never a time you were not there
But I never made time for you
And when I, needed things from time to time I called you
But didn’t wanna rendezvous
Now all is true, I heard what you did for me
And yet, I replied with an IOU
Time passed and I’m like wait, who are you?
When I switched up, why you ain’t switch up too?
I lived life as a phony Christian
Livin’ in sin knowing I could ask forgiveness
Sick how I manipulated your heart
Pimpin’ you out, treatin’ you just like a broad
They told me come as you are
You told me come and surrender it all
I choose the latter as I climb the ladder of Jacob
And elevate into your arms, I’m sorry

Chorus:
Oh Lord, without your love it gets so hard for me to breathe
You kept me safe, all my days
Through all my sins, my wrongs, my ways
Can’t believe you stayed with me
Can’t believe you stayed
You stayed with me

Verse 2:
Gotta think somethin’ is wrong
What kinda God dies for someone that don’t know’em
Payin’ for my life when I already owed you
Who am I but a man that I know you?
I struggle with the fact that you loved me
When I was in the world livin’ ugly
And even when I came to you I ain’t wanna change
That much I wanted to live comfy, but
Something inside of me pivoted
Livin’ for me but you said I could live again
Convinced me to jump in that river in Revelation 22
Where your Spirit lives
Forvige me of taking for grated your love
Compassion and way that you feel
Cause’ when I was fake to you
You never stopped keepin’ it real

Chorus:
Oh Lord, without your love it gets so hard for me to breathe
You kept me safe, all my days
Through all my sins, my wrongs, my ways
Can’t believe you stayed with me
Can’t believe you stayed
You stayed with me

Interlude:
I am like a sheep
I know in time I’ll lose my way
Let your Spirit be my seal
And help my wandering heart to stay

Chorus
