Inspired by John 15:4 and the Emmaus disciples' plea: 'Stay with us, for it is toward evening.' May this gentle song remind you that He never leaves, never departs, and His presence is our truest peace. Scripture inspiration: John 15:4 — Abide in Me, and I in you. Luke 24:29 — Stay with us, for it is toward evening
