Chorus: I can't stay no longer here,
And I can't stay away.
The gospels sound so sweetly to me,
That I can't stay away.

If you get there before I do,
I can't stay away.
Look out for me; I'm coming, too,
And I can't stay away.

(Chorus)

I strike, I see, and I'll pursue,
And I can't stay away.
The narrow way 'til him I view,
And I can't stay away.

(Chorus)
