A Prayer of Love Lyrics

Padre Pio
A Prayer of Love

John Petrikovic & Kip Ledger

Stay with me Lord,
I need you here
So I can praise you and not forget your name.
Stay with me Lord,
You know how easily it is that I abandon you.
I need your strength because I fall,
Show me your will
Stay with me Lord.

Stay with me Lord,
You are my life
And without you my life is without passion.
Stay with me Lord,
You are my light and without you
I am in darkness, I look for you.
In all life’s dangers I need you
Stay with me Lord.

Chorus: Let me know you in the breaking of the bread,
So that communion is the light
Which drives away the darkness from my soul.

Stay with me Lord,
For my desire is to love you and always stay with you.
Stay with me Lord,
As poor as my soul is I wish it to be a place of consolation.
For you a nest of love
Stay with me Lord.

Chorus

Stay with me Lord,
And at the hour of my death
I hope that we could be as one.
Stay with me Lord,
For it is you alone I look for
Your love and grace, your will and heart.
I ask of nothing but your love
Stay with me Lord.
