From the recording At the Table | He Stays
Lyrics
My Father we're sitting here together
And nothing looks different
But everything has changed
They're talking they're laughing
Breaking bread and pouring wine
And I already know
I can see it before it happens
I can feel it in the room
Something here is shifting
One will betray me
One will deny me
And the rest don't understand yet
And still I take the bread
Still I break it
Still I give it to them
Take this all of you
And I look into their eyes
And I don't turn away
You say you'll never leave me
And I don't stop you
I hear the words
I know they're not true
And I still love you
Even knowing
So I rise and I kneel
And I wash your feet
Knowing you won't stay
And still I touch the dust on your skin
My Father this is the beginning
Not of loss
But of love that doesn't turn away
Even when it's not returned
Still I remain
Take this and remember
Not what I said
But how I stayed
And I stay
