Stay Here by Travis Greene Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m learning to wait
I’m learning to trust
and to depend on You
Whatever I face
Whatever may come
I will not be moved
I made a choice
Only Your voice
Will I follow
I’ll wait
Chorus
I’ll stay here
I won’t move without You
I’ll stay here
I won’t move without You
No matter what comes my way
I’ll trust what You say
I’ll stay here
I won’t move without You
Without You-I’ll stay
Verse 2
I used to be young
Now that I’m older
I’ve never seen You fail
I’ve been hurt
Lost my way but
You are always there
I won’t forget
Your promises are worth my trust
I won’t rush
Bridge
I won’t leave
Til Your Spirit speaks to me
I won’t move
Til Your Spirit tells me to
I’ll stay
