Stay with me Lord
by Alana Sheldahl
adapted from a prayer by Padre Pio
Stay with me Lord
I must have you present
So I do not forget you
or abandon you,
Stay with me Lord
Stay with me Lord
because I am weak
I need your strength
so I don’t fall
Stay with me Lord
Stay with me Lord
you are my life
and without you
I am without fervor
Stay with me Lord
Stay with me Lord the hour his late
and the day is drawing to a close
Stay with me Lord for death approaches
Oh how I need you in this night of exile
Stay with me, Jesus, I must have your presence
this alone I ask of you: Stay with me Lord
Stay with me Lord, stay with me Lord
Stay with me Lord
you are my light
and without You
I remain in darkness
Stay with me Lord
Stay with me, Lord
and show me your will
So I can hear your voice
and follow You
Stay with me Lord
Stay with me Jesus let this Eucharist sustain me
Your body and your blood: Joy of my heart
Stay with me Lord It’s You alone I look for:
Your love your grace your spirit heart and will
Stay with me Lord because I love you
I ask no reward but You
and to love you more and more
Stay with me Lord, stay with me Lord
stay with me Lord....
...the hour is late..
