I'll Stay

I was once in somene else’s field

Where I laughed, I learned, loved and lived

Only to know that it wasn’t really for me

For the real threshing floor awaits my eyes to see

In Your field I found myself working for the harvest

Picking up the grains, gathering the sheaves I gave my best

Being too busy with it, I didn’t noticed of the time

I haven’t even seen You–the field’s Owner Who went by

Kinsman-Redeemer, a Man of standing they used to call You

For there’s a kindness in Your heart so genuine and true

But why have I found such favor in Your eyes?

That You noticed me–a woman still paying the price

Oh You Who have given me with so much love

Cared for my purity and held me like a dove

I will forever be embraced by Your long strong arms

Yes, I’ll stay in Your field that causes me no harm
