[Verse 1]
Lord please sit close, the night is loud
The rain falls hard beneath the cloud
I try to keep my head up high
While storms are breaking in my sky
[Verse 2]
There's mud and smoke upon my coat
The truth is stuck inside my throat
I have no holy song to share
Just sit with me and pull a chair
[Chorus]
Just sit with me Lord
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin
And the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
Let me lean upon your shoulder
Till the morning light is found
[Verse 3]
I know my sins by their first name
They shadow me in quiet shame
My faith is like a half-burned match
A little warmth but fading fast
[Verse 4]
I don't need answers dressed in gold
Just mercy with sleeves rolled low
I have no holy song to share
Just sit with me and pull a chair
[Chorus]
Just sit with me Lord
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin
And the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
Let me lean upon your shoulder
Till the morning light is found
[Bridge]
I know dawn won't mend it all
Shadows wait upon the wall
But if you stay in this room
Maybe hope will start to bloom
[Chorus]
Just sit with me Lord
(Do you hear me)
Let me feel your presence near
I am running thin
And the darkness brings me fear
I've been losing sleep and fading
If I cannot hold my ground
Let me lean upon your shoulder
Till the morning light is found
[Outro]
I'm not healed but I am standing
Till the morning light is found

Gravel & Grace's song is a raw, honest prayer for God's presence during a season of fear, exhaustion, and shame. The singer admits to struggling with faith, feeling like a half-burned match, and being haunted by sin. Instead of asking for grand answers, the song pleads for simple companionship—God sitting close like a friend. The chorus repeats the need to lean on God's shoulder until morning, while the bridge acknowledges that dawn won't fix everything but hopes that God's presence will bring hope. It ends with a quiet declaration of standing, though not yet healed, trusting in God's sustaining mercy.
