Verse 1:
I have felt Your presence near me every single day
Your love has sustained me in every step I’ve taken
Now when I think of living without You, my heart trembles
Because I know that without Your light, my life would be nothing
You have been my refuge in storms and rain
My strength when I couldn’t go on any longer
I cannot imagine a world without Your love
Because You are the reason I can be here
Chorus:
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay with me
I can’t live without You, You are my everything
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay right here
Your love is the only thing that makes me feel good
Please don’t leave, Lord, I am by Your side
I don’t want to be alone, I need You
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay with me
You will always be my guide and my great love
Verse 2:
I have seen how Your grace has transformed me completely
How You have taken away my pain and given me peace
Your word is my light in the darkness
And without it, my path would become cold and empty
I want to always stay close to You, my Lord
Learning more each day of Your love and truth
There is nothing in this world that can replace You
Because Your presence is the greatest gift I have
Chorus:
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay with me
I can’t live without You, You are my everything
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay right here
Your love is the only thing that makes me feel good
Please don’t leave, Lord, I am by Your side
I don’t want to be alone, I need You
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay with me
You will always be my guide and my great love
Bridge (with that moving touch of the original song):
I know You will always be with me, even if I can’t see You!
But my heart needs to feel You close every single day!
I promise to follow Your ways and love with all my being!
Please don’t leave, I never want to be without You!
(We will walk together, hand in hand!
With God in my life, there will be no pain or worry!)
Please don’t leave, Lord, stay with me
I can’t live without You
