True Love Stays

Steady my heart and grit my teeth The deepest wounds cut from underneath I'll fix my eyes on the One who knows Truest love's forged in the fire of sorrow You knew they'd turn their back on You Disown, betray, deny, few stayed by Your side Yet still Your love took the place of a slave You knelt to the ground and washed the feet that would run away... True love stays. Steady the ground under my feet Poured out my heart, and gave my trust, they had the key You shared Your bread, You shared Your wine The friend with whom you dined placed his heel to Your side You knew they'd turn their back on You Disown, betray, deny, few stayed by Your side Yet still Your love took the place of a slave You knelt to the ground and washed the feet that would run away... True love stays. True love stays. True love knows its place in the heart of God So it won't be swayed May love and faithfulness never leave me Bind them around my neck! True love knows its place in the heart of God So it won't be swayed May love and faithfulness never leave me Bind them around my neck! You knew they'd turn their back on You Disown, betray, deny, few stayed by Your side Yet still Your love took the place of a slave You knelt to the ground and washed the feet that would run away... You knelt to the ground and washed the feet that would run away... You knelt to the ground for the runaway... True love stays. True love stays. True love stays.
