You Stayed – Written by Zabbai ft. Chad Wade

Verse 1:

When I look back

There was never a time you were not there

But I never made time for you

And when I, needed things from time to time I called you

But didn’t wanna rendezvous

Now all is true, I heard what you did for me

And yet, I replied with an IOU

Time passed and I’m like wait, who are you?

When I switched up, why you ain’t switch up too?

I lived life as a phony Christian

Livin’ in sin knowing I could ask forgiveness

Sick how I manipulated your heart

Pimpin’ you out, treatin’ you just like a broad

They told me come as you are

You told me come and surrender it all

I choose the latter as I climb the ladder of Jacob

And elevate into your arms, I’m sorry

Chorus:

Oh Lord, without your love it gets so hard for me to breathe

You kept me safe, all my days

Through all my sins, my wrongs, my ways

Can’t believe you stayed with me

Can’t believe you stayed

You stayed with me

Verse 2:

Gotta think somethin’ is wrong

What kinda God dies for someone that don’t know’em

Payin’ for my life when I already owed you

Who am I but a man that I know you?

I struggle with the fact that you loved me

When I was in the world livin’ ugly

And even when I came to you I ain’t wanna change

That much I wanted to live comfy, but

Something inside of me pivoted

Livin’ for me but you said I could live again

Convinced me to jump in that river in Revelation 22

Where your Spirit lives

Forvige me of taking for grated your love

Compassion and way that you feel

Cause’ when I was fake to you

You never stopped keepin’ it real

Chorus:

Oh Lord, without your love it gets so hard for me to breathe

You kept me safe, all my days

Through all my sins, my wrongs, my ways

Can’t believe you stayed with me

Can’t believe you stayed

You stayed with me

Interlude:

I am like a sheep

I know in time I’ll lose my way

Let your Spirit be my seal

And help my wandering heart to stay

Chorus
