Stones throw away
I can see His agony
Start to bleed
Stones throw away
I can hear His adamant plea
“Let it pass from me”

Save Lord, I pray
Save me from my enemy
Who prowls in deep
I’ll fight to stay awake
My spirit wills, my flesh is weak
So I fall asleep

The dark is creeping in
How suddenly my vanity
Betrays my speech
“This man is not my friend”
What a foolish lie
‘Cause You I can’t deny Your mercy haunts me every night
In a dream

Stones throw away
I can hear my Savior’s plea
“Come to me”
I’ve tried to run away
Why does He keep on asking me?
For my loyalty

My world is closing in
How suddenly my frailty
Finds words to speak
I’ll love You to the end
Until I die cause
You I can’t deny Your mercy haunts me every night
In a dream

I need You now
I’m lost without You here
Forgive me all the times I’ve turned away
My love is only Yours
I’ve told You twice before
You I can’t deny Your mercy haunts me every night
In a dream

The world is closing in
Jesus, You’re my everything
My life to breath
I’ll follow you
Until I reach the end
‘Til Your kingdom comes
‘Cause You I can’t deny Your mercy haunts me every night
In a dream

I’ll follow You until I reach the end

Behind the Song:
“Whenever I’ve sinned and don’t bring it before the Lord in confession, I always find that there’s a weight or cloud over my head until I do so. It’s an incredible tension that pulls me back to His love. I believe it’s the Holy Spirit crying out in me for holiness and righteousness. I likened it to a haunting, not a Halloween kind of haunting, but more like a love that provokes me to return to God. Perhaps that’s why some refer to The Spirit as the Holy Ghost. When He’s after us, there’s no getting away from Him!" - Michael Watson (Above The Golden State)
