Many words of wisdom have been given us

As tangible as turning the page

But we tend to keep our distance

And resist the simple choice

Then wonder why we cannot hear His quiet voice



Stay close

Don't go

Stay close

No, don't make those same mistakes

Take those things that you know to be true

And hold them to you

Don't let go

Stay close



Many times I've seen the wonder of His ways

Lost in the closet of neglect

But the door is always open

To the turning of a phrase

A brilliant light spills inside to show the way



Stay close

Don't go

Stay close

No, don't make those same mistakes

Take those things that you know to be true

And hold them to you

Don't let go

Stay close
