Song Description
Pro Review by Jack Dennis , Ohio, US
Gotta go with 5 stars across. Song and lyrics are outstanding as well as the vocal. Message is humbling and beautiful the way it's conveyed. While I like the folk feel of just guitar and vocal, I would really like to hear this song with more instrumentation, vocal harmonies where appropriate, etc. - to see if it would be even more moving. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm sure the Lord is pleased.

( COPYRIGHTED)
Genre: CCM
Chorus
CC B A (8 Octaves)
Stay with me
A B A G (8 Octaves)
Oh, stay with me
CC B A (8 Octaves)
Don't you leave
A B A G (8 Octaves)
Oh, hear me please
CC B A (8 Octaves)
Stay with me
A B A G (8 Octaves)
Oh, stay with me
CC B A (8 Octaves)
Don't you leave
A B A G (8 Octaves)
Oh, hear me please
Verse A
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb( 3 or 4th Octave)
When I was a little boy
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
You watched my first step
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb (4th or 5th Octave)
I grew meek and so mild
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
You were there even as I wep
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb
To comfort; to keep the child.
Verse B
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb ( 3 or 4th Octave)
And when I turned into a man
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
I drifted from the Master Plan
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb (4th or 5th Octave)
I found love in material things
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
Only pain is what it brings..
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb
To love you when I thought I can
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
You opened the door, and I still ran..
Verse C
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb ( 3 or 4th Octave)
Now as the end comes near
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
I remember the child and man
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb (4th or 5th Octave)
Your words, I hope to hear
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
That I'm still part of the plan
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db A#/Bb
As the pain continues to seer
C#/Db F#/Gb A#/Bb C#/Db--D#/Eb--C#/Db G#/Ab
With your love, I will not fear
