Stay With Us Lyrics

Stay With Us lyrics

Words and Music by Mavis Staples 

Well Lord youÆve done everything youÆve said
Everything that you said you would do
You gave us food to eat and our health and strength too
But weÆre livinÆ in such a mean old world
Now misery and sadness are everywhere
But sometimes it seems so hard to bear


Stay with us, donÆt leave us
DonÆt leave us, I know weÆll make it
I know weÆll make it


Now everything seems to be going wrong
But Lord I know youÆre gonna fix it before too long
These are the times oh Lord of war and hate
But oh you said that youÆd surly make a way


Stay with us, donÆt leave us
DonÆt leave us, I know weÆll make it
I know weÆll make it


Well just as long as you are by my side
Oh just as long as you will be my guide
Gonna keep on trusting upward every round
Cause ainÆt nobody gonna turn me around


Stay with us, donÆt leave us
DonÆt leave us, I know weÆll make it
I know weÆll make it
Stay with us, donÆt leave us
DonÆt leave us, I know weÆll make it
I know weÆll make it
Stay with us, stay with us
DonÆt leave us, donÆt leave us
DonÆt leave us, donÆt leave us
I know weÆll make it
I know weÆll make it
