[Verse 1] Olive trees Hold their breath Shadows stretch As You sweat blood Friends so close But they drift To a quieter place Than this aching love You whisper out “Stay here Stay” Just one hour By My side But the weight And the weariness Pull their eyes Shut tight [Chorus] Stay awake Here with You In the stillness See it through When the grief feels Too much to take Teach my heart To stay awake Stay awake Stay awake [Verse 2] I know that bench In the back row Phone in my hand But my heart gone cold Prayers half-spoken Thoughts run wild And I trade Your face For a restless mind You’re on Your knees I’m on my screen You’re saying my name While I chase sleep But Your quiet call Cuts through the ache “Child I am here Please stay awake” [Chorus] Stay awake Here with You In the stillness See it through When the grief feels Too much to take Teach my heart To stay awake Stay awake Stay awake [Bridge] When the sorrow Feels too strong (oh Lord) When the night Feels far too long Hold my gaze Till morning breaks Let my love be Wide awake [Chorus] Stay awake Here with You Every heartbeat Leaning true As we walk Toward the cross You take I am here I’ll stay awake Stay awake I’ll stay awake
