Stay Awhile Lyrics

When the fog blurs up my window

And the road looks rough ahead

On the days that it's hard

To get out of bed

I know You're there

Memories that tend to dwell

Forever in my mind

Good or bad, I can't tell

But they keep me up at night

I know You're there

Valleys look low and valleys look wide

But when death's shadow haunts my soul

Your staff and rod still guide

So I smile

I gaze above, am still, and stay awhile

For in all suffering I can say

There is joy to have

Peace to hold

Grace to keep me in Your arms

Truth to light the way ahead

So my life's forever in Your hands

Plucking out the notes of life

In a way that's honoring

Grudgingly I sometimes keep

My way from slipping

Are You still there

Valleys look low and valleys look wide

And when the burnout's all I know

I trust You will provide

So I smile

I gaze above, am still, and stay awhile

For in all suffering I can say

There is joy to have

Peace to hold

Grace to keep me in Your arms

Truth to light the way ahead

So my life's forever in Your hands

Yes, I smile

Even when my faith is tried

I smile

When valleys low and wide show that

There is grief to bear

And walls to climb

Your promise never falls behind

I assert my faith in Christ

And I forever find

That I smile I gaze above, am still, and stay awhile

For in all suffering I can say

There is joy to have

Peace to hold

Grace to keep me in Your arms

Truth to light the way ahead

So my life's forever in Your hands
