Sit With Me Lord

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

Just sit with me, Lord, let me feel your presence near

I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear

I'd been losing sleep and fading

If I cannot hold my ground

Let me lean upon your shoulder 'til the morning light is found

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 its sleeves rolled low

I have no holy song to share

Just sit with me and pull a chair

Just sit with me, Lord, let me feel your presence near

I am running thin and the darkness brings me fear

I'd been losing sleep and fading

If I cannot hold my ground

Let me lean upon your shoulder 'til the morning light is found

Hey!

Oh!

I know dawn won't mend it all

Shadows wait upon the wall

But if you stay in this room

Maybe hope will start to bloom

Just sit with me, Lord

Let me feel your presence near

I am running thin

And the darkness brings me fear

I'd been losing sleep and fading

If I cannot hold my ground

I'm not healed but I am standing 'til the morning light is found
