[Verse 1]
I've seen the flash of lightning
I've heard the rolling thunder
I've felt the crashing of the waves
And though I've known Your presence
And been filled with wonder
Still there are many things that pull me away
Don't let me go, ooh hold me close because

[Chorus]
I don't want to hurt You anymore
I don't want to waste another day
'Cause it breaks Your heart, it breaks Your heart
When I keep walking away, yeah
'Cause You know what it means to sacrifice
But You tell me that it's better to obey
You've giving me a thousand brand new starts
Jesus, give me what it takes to stay
Give me what it takes to stay

[Verse 2]
I've felt Your hand of mercy
Through my darkest failures
And on the other side
You've covered me with grace
And like a child lost and afraid
You come and find this runaway
And in Your loving arms
You bring me home again
What's it gonna take to make me stay

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to hurt You anymore
I don't want to waste another day
'Cause it breaks Your heart, it breaks Your heart
When I keep walking away, yeah
You know what it means to sacrifice
But You tell me that it's better to obey
You've giving me a thousand brand new starts
Jesus, give me what it takes to stay
Give me what it takes to stay

Give me what it takes to stay, oh

[Bridge]
Break my heart with what breaks Yours
Until You're all I'm living for
Show me what it means
Not just to believe, but to remain

[Chorus/Outro]
'Cause I don't want to hurt You anymore
I don't want to waste another day
'Cause it breaks Your heart, it breaks Your heart
When I keep walking away, yeah
But You know what it means to sacrifice
But You tell me that it's better to obey
You've giving me a thousand brand new starts
Jesus, give me what it takes to stay
Give me what it takes to stay
Give me what it takes to stay
I mean what it takes to stay
Let me stay
Let me stay, I want to stay...
