I Want To Stay

I WANT TO STAY
When I used to spend my life without you
All I knew was much despair
But now o lord that you're in my life
I can see my life has been changed
From times when joy was as a thing so far
To this time I feel very full
With all kinds of joys and hopes so delightful
That I 'd never have found without you
CHORUSX1
Our father,who art in heaven
I want to stay forever
Under your wings I cherish so much
For all the joys it has brought to my life

In your hands o lord that is my stand
All my despair has been removed
Cause I now have life with the hope
Of gaining life that'll never end
If only I put faith in your son
That you send forth to redeem us
From the hands of the wicked one
Who never wants us to see your glory
CHORUSX1

From the time that I came under your wings
Until every moment now in my life
You have never ceased to be my refuge
In times when calamity befalls me
That if I want to say thank you
For all the salvation you have given me
All the words in this wide world
Cannot suffice to praise your name
CHORUSX3
