Sit with me, Lord

          

  Si nous ne savons plus prier, eh bien! Nous pouvons toujours chanter avec Arthur Hayes[

                  1 

Lord, please sit close
The night is loud
The rain falls hard beneath the cloud
I try to keep my head up high while storms are breaking in my sky
There's mud and smoke upon my coat
The truth is stuck inside my throat
I have no holy song to share
Just sit with me and pull a chair

            Chorus 

Just sit with me Lord
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
Let me lean upon your shoulder
Till the morning light is found
Oh, oh

                    2
I know my sins by their first name
They shadow me in quiet shame
My faith is like a half-burned match
A little warmth but fading fast
I don't need answers dressed in gold
Just mercy with sleeves rolled low
I have no holy song to share
Just sit with me and pull a chair

                Chorus

Just sit with me, Lord
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
Let me lean upon your shoulder
Till the morning light is found
Oh, oh

              Bridge

Final dawn won't end it all
Shadows wait upon the wall
But if you stay in this room
Maybe hope will start to bloom

               Outro

Just sit with me, Lord
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin, and the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
I'm not healed, but I am standing
Till the morning light is found
