There is a whisper A quiet invitation Beckoning me to come A hand of kindness A good and trusting one A hand that will never fail My bags are packed But I'm glued to the phone 'Cause I've got nowhere else to go So I stay Yes, I stay I have a mind that Will wait for war to take its toll Before it will still itself But I've seen the face of love A chest that warms and welcomes A table that never fails Oh I've been running, I've been fading to grey But I hear You calling my name Your voice is singing out like fire in the rain So I stay Yes, I stay Oh Lord, I stay Yes, I stay Oh You're not finished yet This can't be where it ends Come kick this barrenness out into the grave You promised better yet So I'm lookin' at You, my friend And I stay Yes, I stay Oh Lord, I stay Yes, I stay There is a whisper A quiet invitation Beckoning me to come
