Stay.

I'm listening to a song called "Stay" by Jenny Phillips. Here are the lyrics:
I stand in wonder
At what thou hast done for me
Nothing could ever
Be as sweet
As Thy mercy
As Thy love
As Thy peace

[Chorus]
My soul breathes
I feel hope beat
I'm so alive
When thy spirit fills me
I want this feeling with me
Stay, stay
Help me live in a way
That Thy spirit can stay with me

Sure as the sunrise
As pure as the falling snow
Like leaves that are dancing
In the autumn breeze
Like blue skies
Like laughter
Like new life

[Chorus (x2)]
My soul breathes
I feel hope beat
I'm so alive
When thy spirit fills me
I want this feeling with me
Stay, stay
Help me live in a way
That Thy spirit can stay with me

I love this song, especially the chorus. It's saying that My soul breathes, I feel hope, and I'm so alive when I feel His spirit, and then asking Him to "Help me live in a way that Thy spirit can stay with me." In D&C 25:12 it says "For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me" and this song is a perfect example of this because in the song she's asking Him to help her live in a way that His spirit can stay with her because she loves the feeling she gets when she feels it. I, too, love the feeling that His spirit gives me, and I hope and pray every day that I can live in a way that His spirit can stay and influence me. Because He loves me, I feel His love constantly through His spirit and I feel His mercy through the spirit that acts of kindness or thoughtfulness of others gives me. He is constantly showing me how much He loves me, and I hope and I pray that every day I can feel His spirit so that I can help others feel His love and mercy.
