Still here

Verse 1

I’ve been holding my breath in Your presence

Afraid if I speak You’ll see through me

I’ve learned how to sound like I trust You

Without letting You touch the weak parts

I keep track of every unanswered prayer

Like proof that I’m easy to forget

Still I show up, still I kneel

Still I ask You to stay

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know how to believe without fear

I don’t know how to love You sincere

When I feel nothing at all

And the room feels cold

But I’m tired of pretending I’m fine

Tired of praying in borrowed lines

So here’s my heart, unguarded, unclean

If You’re done with me, don’t let me leave

Chorus

You didn’t leave when I lost my faith

You didn’t turn when I looked away

You stayed quiet but You stayed close

Held my doubt like You love me most

If this is all that I can give

A breaking heart, a tired yes

Meet me here in the middle of it

I didn’t leave, but neither did You

Verse 2

I’ve been scared You’d ask for everything

Every secret I’ve buried alive

So I give You songs instead of truth

And hope You don’t look me in the eyes

I’ve mistaken Your patience for distance

Thought Your silence meant no

But now I’m learning love doesn’t rush

And mercy doesn’t go

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need You loud, I need You real

I don’t need relief, I need You still

If You’re holy here in my doubt

Then I’ll stay even when the dark is loud

So take my questions, take my blame

Take the parts I’m scared to name

I don’t have answers, I don’t pretend

I just don’t want this to be the end

Chorus

You didn’t leave when I lost my faith

You didn’t turn when I looked away

You stayed quiet but You stayed close

Held my doubt like You love me most

If this is all that I can give

A breaking heart, a tired yes

Meet me here in the middle of it

I didn’t leave, but neither did You

Bridge (soft, almost spoken)

If You’re not afraid of my honesty

Then I won’t hide behind my fear

If You’re still calling me Your child

I’ll let You see me here

Bridge (build)

I’m done running from Your gaze

Done confusing love with pain

If You’re staying, I’ll stay too

Even if healing comes slow

Final Chorus

You didn’t leave when I lost my faith

You didn’t turn when I looked away

You stayed quiet but You stayed close

Held my doubt like You love me most

So take this life, unfinished, true

I don’t have much, but I have You

Meet me here in the middle of it

I didn’t leave

Neither did You

Outro

I’m still here

You’re still God
