You tell me you don't have the time to hear what I must say,
There'll always be to morrow, tonight you must go play;
But won't you come and sit awhile, and open up your heart?
If the Holy Spirit's calling you to set some time a part,
Won't you stay...?

You have known the emptiness, felt the burden of your sin,
Right now you know you're far from God,
And you need that peace with Him;
But the things of earth will grab your mind
When you walk out that door,
My friend, why do you run from love, what are you looking for?

Won't you stay, won't you stay...?
Why run from the voice of the One who loves you so?
Won't you stay, won't you stay...?
Jesus gave His whole heart, please don't tell Him"no".

He's called to You in quiet times when you were all a lone,
God, Himself, has paid the price for you to come back home;
You've gone through all your sources, you've run to all your friends,
But the only peace you'll ever find is to get it right with Him...

Won't you stay, won't you stay...?
Why run from the voice of the One who loves you so?
Won't you stay, won't you stay...?
He's given You His own life, how can you tell Him"no"?
