Stay With Me

Jerome Moross/Carolyn Leigh, 1963

Shadows In The Night sessions, Capitol Studio B, LA - February/Early March 2014  

Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see
Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me.

Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from the fold
leave the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold.

I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned
And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind.

Though I grope and I blunder and I'm weak and I'm wrong
Though the road buckles under where I walk, walk along.

Till I find to my wonder every path leads to Thee
All that I can do is pray, stay with me,
Stay with me.
