(Written in
1996 while serving in Africa)
Though the sky’s getting dark
And the hungry wolves bark
Lord, I’ll stay
If that is what you say
I’ll stay at any cost
‘Til I find your sheep that are lost
Though “Sanballat” and “Tobiah” are
strong
And my worried nights seem long
Lord, I’ll stay
If that is what you say
Fully trusting your mighty power as
I do your will
‘Til Satan is defeated and your city
built on this hill
Whatever comes next I know not,
though
You will carry me through, this I
know
I’ll stay
And pray
Upon your promise leaning
‘Til I finish your golden sheaves
gleaning
I am here on your King of kings’
command
The greatest service my life can
ever demand
I’ll stay
And pray
Your victory banner hoisting
‘Til your cross becomes their only
boasting
Only give me your mandate and grace
to stay
I’ll stay, I will, dear Lord,
without having a say
I’ll stay
And pray
‘Til they sing “The Lord Reigns”
Yes, ‘til they declare “Our God
Reigns”
I’ll stay, Lord, I’ll stay
