Just Stay
Words and Music by Anna Rundall


I walk into His house today
These walls that somehow
breathe my sin
My heart is cold, my soul is grey
and I don't really
want to stay

These dirty feet
that You would wash
If only I would stay a while
despite the fear, the chilling ache
I know there is a soul
at stake

Chorus:
Cross my heart and hope to die
Lay no hands and I won't cry
Know the Truth but feel the lies
here I crumble
bit by bit...

I want no cup
I wish no wine
The thoughts will take me back in time
to where there was no joy in this
I need to know what I have missed

Chorus:
Cross my heart and hope to die
Lay no hands and I won't cry
Know the Truth but feel the lies
Here I crumble bit by bit
Waiting for a change

To those who built their Babylon
and called it House of Praise
If you mislead just one
be ye mindful
of the millstone and the deepest sea
for what you've done
to me

I walk into this House today
These walls that somehow
breathe Your grace
My heart still old
My soul still grey
and once again I turn
and walk
away.........
