Love and Hurt

Stay

You stayed, I waited

There was no hatred

We've been through a lot

Pain, more often than not

Yet we're tied together

Like a knot

You saw me

As others have not

And your where I would've cast my lot

I sought love, but wasn't ready

And you still stood steady

Always there, you were

While I caused quite a stir

Hurt feelings I caused,

And painful dealings

Through it all, oh you stayed

Never left and never will

All I have to do is be still

God is here

And so are you

So very near

Whispers in my ear

"I stayed for you"

And I love what I hear.
