Still I Stay | Kenneth E Mills

STILL I STAY — Kenneth E. Mills She once held Him as a baby. Years later, she stood beneath His cross and watched Him take His final breath. “Still I Stay” is an original Christian song told through the sorrow and faith of Mary, the mother of Jesus. When others scattered and hope seemed lost, she remained near the cross — carrying memories, promises, grief, and a faith that somehow had to survive the darkness. It is a song about staying when you don't understand, trusting when God's promise seems hidden, and holding on through the night while waiting for morning. Written by Kenneth E. Mills Kenneth E. Mills Music Painting Pictures with Words — Where Words Become Worship and Sound Becomes Peace. LYRICS [Verse 1] She stood where the shadows gathered, Heart pressed against the splintered wood. Tears she couldn't catch fell like prayers On the hard ground. When the world turned its back, She stayed. She held the echo of angel words In her chest, But this was not the cradle's rest. Promises seemed so far And still so near, Whispering, “Let it be” Through every fear. [Pre-Chorus] Stay with me in the ache, O Lord. [Chorus] Beneath the cross I stay Till the last breath is done. Holding love through the silence, Mother of the suffering One. Even here where hope seems gone, I'll trust till morning's light. Love will rise from the sorrow. God will make all things right. [Verse 2] She counted every labored breath, The sky split like cloth. Every promise felt heavy, Every memory a cost. Yet even in that darkness She heard what others missed: The soft surrender of love, The gift within the abyss. She let the silence teach her, Even here love remains. She held on for the dawn, When joy would rise again. [Bridge] Through all the waiting She kept love alive. In the hollow, She held on for light. [Final Chorus] Beneath the cross I stay Till the last breath is done. Holding love through the silence, Mother of the suffering One. Even here where hope seems gone, I'll trust till morning's light. Love will rise from the sorrow. God will make all things right. [Outro] When the world turned its back... She stayed. Through the sorrow, Through the night... Still I stay. #StillIStay #KennethEMills #ChristianMusic #OriginalChristianMusic #Jesus #Mary #Calvary #Faith
