HOW CAN I EVER STAY AWAY?
1. how can I ever
stay away
And grieve Thy
Spirit all the day
While Thou dost
wait for me?
While Thou dost
wait for me!
I now am willing to
return
And wait no longer,
for I yearn
Henceforth to
follow Thee,
Henceforth to
follow Thee.
2. I offer now
without reserve
All that I am and
all I have
Thy purpose to
fulfill,
Thy purpose to
fulfill.
Oh, may the Lord
accept and keep,
That henceforth I
may only seek
To do the Father's
will,
To do the Father's
will.
3. When I look
back, what grief and shame
That I've brought
none to trust Thy name,
Thy word I've
locked within,
Thy word I've
locked within.
Oh, may the Lord
anointing give
And richly through
my being live,
That I may speak of
Him,
That I may speak of
Him.
4. My Lord is so
gracious to me,
Exceeds what my
best friend can be;
I fain would be His
bride,
I fain would be His
bride.
I'd share His life
and suffer loss,
Accepting willingly
the cross,
With Him
identified,
With Him
identified.
