Stay with us

Stay with us Lyrics

(Mavis Staples)


Well Lord you've done everything you've said

Everything that you said you would do

You gave us food to eat and our health and strength too

But we're livin' in such a mean old world

Now misery and sadness are everywhere

But sometimes it seems so hard to bear


Stay with us, don't leave us

Don't leave us, I know we'll make it

I know we'll make it


Now everything seems to be going wrong

But Lord I know you're gonna fix it before too long

These are the times oh Lord of war and hate

But oh you said that you'd surly make a way


Stay with us, don't leave us

Don't leave us, I know we'll make it

I know we'll make it


Well just as long as you are by my side

Oh just as long as you will be my guide

Gonna keep on trusting upward every round

Cause ain't nobody gonna turn me around


Stay with us, don't leave us

Don't leave us, I know we'll make it

I know we'll make it

Stay with us, don't leave us

Don't leave us, I know we'll make it

I know we'll make it

Stay with us, stay with us

Don't leave us, don't leave us

Don't leave us, don't leave us

I know we'll make it

I know we'll make it
