I don't want to fall from grace
or go silently from this world
I don't want to give up trying
to live my heartfelt dreams
I may cry myself asleep
and my body may break down
I may bleed from wounds
only God will be able to see
I need you to stay by me
and not let me go
I need you to be patient
with my ever-growing cries
I love you for staying
and for holding me close
I love you for everything
and the way you love me
