Many words of wisdom have been given us
As tangible as turning the page
But we tend to keep our distance
And resist the simple choice
Then wonder why we cannot hear His quiet voice

Stay close
Don't go
Stay close
No, don't make those same mistakes
Take those things that you know to be true
And hold them to you
Don't let go
Stay close

Many times I've seen the wonder of His ways
Lost in the closet of neglect
But the door is always open
To the turning of a phrase
A brilliant light spills inside to show the way

Stay close
Don't go
Stay close
No, don't make those same mistakes
Take those things that you know to be true
And hold them to you
Don't let go
Stay close
