The God Who Stays

If I were You

I would've given up on me by now

I would've labeled me a lost cause

'Cause I feel just like a lost cause

If I were You

I would've turned around and walked away

I would've labeled me beyond repair

'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair

Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do

Somehow You're still here

You're the God who stays

You're the God who stays

You're the one who runs in my direction

When the whole world walks away

You're the God who stands

With wide-open arms

And You tell me nothing I have ever done

Could separate my heart

From the God who stays

I used to hide

Every time I thought I let You down

I always thought I had to earn my way

But I'm learning You don't work that way, no

'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do

Somehow You're still here

You're the God who stays

You're the God who stays

You're the one who runs in my direction

When the whole world walks away

You're the God who stands

With wide-open arms

And You tell me nothing I have ever done

Could separate my heart

From the God who stays

My shame can't separate

My guilt can't separate

My past can't separate

I'm Yours forever

My sin can't separate

My scars can't separate

My failures can't separate

I'm Yours forever

No enemy can separate

No power of Hell can take away

Your love for me will never change

I'm Yours forever

'Cause You're the God who stays

You're the God who stays

You're the one who runs in my direction

When the whole world walks away

You're the God who stands

With wide-open arms

And You tell me nothing I have ever done

Could separate my heart

From the God who stays

You're the God who stays

You're the one who runs in my direction

When the whole world walks away

You're the God who stands

With wide-open arms

And You tell me nothing I have ever done

Could separate my heart

From the God who stays
