I WANT TO STAY   When I used to spend my life without you   All I knew was much despair   But now o lord that you're in my life   I can see my life has been changed   From times when joy was as a thing so far   To this time I feel very full   With all kinds of joys and hopes so delightful   That I 'd never have found without you   CHORUSX1   Our father,who art in heaven   I want to stay forever   Under your wings I cherish so much   For all the joys it has brought to my life      In your hands o lord that is my stand   All my despair has been removed   Cause I now have life with the hope   Of gaining life that'll never end   If only I put faith in your son   That you send forth to redeem us   From the hands of the wicked one   Who never wants us to see your glory   CHORUSX1      From the time that I came under your wings   Until every moment now in my life   You have never ceased to be my refuge   In times when calamity befalls me   That if I want to say thank you   For all the salvation you have given me   All the words in this wide world   Cannot suffice to praise your name   CHORUSX3
