Stay With Me Tonight by Grace Of Africa artwork

Stay With Me Tonight

Afro-Gospel from Tanzania

Oh my mind won't rest

And I can't find sleep

All the doubts I have

Cut a bit too deep

Yeah I try to pray

But no words come out

I'm holding on tonight

Through every doubt

Oh stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

You are my shield and light

Oh Baba, stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

Stay with me tonight

*Lead:* When my thoughts won't rest, who quiets me?

*Choir: You do, Baba (Father)*

*Lead:* When my faith feels small, who carries me?

*Choir: You do, Baba (Father)*

*Lead:* When I lose my way, who guides my feet?

*Choir: You do, Baba (Father)*

*Lead:* When I whisper low, who hears my plea?

*Choir: You do, Baba (Father)*

Oh stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

You are my shield and light

Oh Baba, stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

Stay with me tonight

Nishike kwa upole (Hold me gently)

Niko mikononi Mwako (I'm in Your arms)

Oh stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

You are my shield and light

Oh Baba, stay with me tonight

Ninataka ukae (I need You to stay)

Hold my heart so tight

Stay with me tonight
