Terrian's song is a heartfelt plea for God's presence during a season of suffering and uncertainty. The lyrics capture the tension between accepting God's will and asking for relief, echoing Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane. The singer longs for God to stay close, to hold her until the trial passes, and finds assurance in the truth that God will never let go. It's a raw, honest expression of faith and dependence, offering comfort to anyone wrestling with pain and doubt.

I've heard it said
"Take joy in sufferin'"
How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?
Is it waverin'? Is it cold?
Is it searing? Is it known?
How should it feel? How should it feel? How should it feel?
Right now, I'm prayin' somewhere in between
Your will be done, and take this cup from me
But if You don't, all I ask of Thee
Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til the sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me 'til it's over
They say this, too, shall pass
But how long is it supposed to last?
How will I know? How will I know? How will I know?
'Cause life, it be life-in'
There's no two ways about it
So if I'm gonna go through Hell just to smile again
Lord, will You stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til the sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me 'til it's over
If nothing else, all I need to know
No matter what, You won't let me go
If nothing else, all I need to know
No matter what, You won't let me go
Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til the sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me 'til it's over
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me 'til it's over
O Lord, O Lord, whoa
