The God Who Stays Lyrics - Matthew West

[Verse 1] 

If I were you 

I would've given up on me by now 

I would've labelled me a lost cause 

Cause I feel just like a lost cause 

[Verse 2] 

If I were you 

I would've turned around and walked away 

I would've labelled me beyond repair 

Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Oh but somehow you don't see me like I do 

Somehow you're still here

[Chorus] 

You're the God who stays 

You're the God who stays 

You're the one who runs in my direction 

When the whole world walks away 

You're the God who stands 

With wide open arms 

And you tell me nothing I have ever done 

Could separate my heart from the God who stays 

[Verse 3] 

I used to hide 

Every time I thought I let you down 

Always thought I had to earn my way 

But I'm learning you don't work that way 

[Pre-Chorus] 

Cause somehow you don't see me like I do 

Somehow you're still here

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 

My shame can't separate 

My guilt can't separate 

My past can't separate 

I'm yours forever 

My sin can't separate 

My scars can't separate 

My failures can't separate 

I'm yours forever 

No enemy can separate 

No power of hell can take away 

Your love for me will never change 

I'm yours forever 

[Chorus] 

[Chorus Extension] 

You're the God who stays 

You're the one who runs in my direction 

When the whole world walks away 

You're the God who stands 

With wide open arms 

And you tell me nothing I have ever done 

Could separate my heart from the God who stays
