Song By Matthew West
  (Verse 1)
If I were You, I would've given up on me by now
I would've labeled me a lost cause
'Cause I feel just like a lost cause
If I were You, I would've turned around and walked away
I would've labeled me beyond repair
'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair
Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do
Somehow You're still here.
 
(Chorus)
You're the God who stays. You're the God who stays.
You're the one who runs in my direction
When the whole world walks away
You're the God who stands. With wide open arms
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
From the God who stays.
 
(Verse 2)
I used to hide
Every time I thought I let You down. I always thought I had to earn my way. But I'm learning You don't work that way, no.
'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do
Somehow You're still here.
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 My shame can't separate
My guilt can't separate. My past can't separate
I'm Yours forever. My sin can't separate
My scars can't separate. My failures can't separate
I'm Yours forever. No enemy can separate
No power of hell can take away
Your love for me will never change
I'm Yours forever
 (Repeat Chorus 2xs)
