|
Oh Father, You've been my friend |
|
Now that I'm in trouble |
|
Stand by me to the end, oh Lord |
|
I want You to stand by, stand by |
|
Well, all of my money and my friends are gone |
|
Lord, I'm in a mean world |
|
And I'm so all alone, oh Lord |
|
I need You, Jesus, stand by, stand by |
|
Well, they tell me |
|
That Samson killed in ancient times |
|
I know that You helped him kill |
|
Ten thousand Philistines, oh Lord |
|
Whoa, I need You, stand by, stand by |
|
Here's another thing |
|
They tell me that they put Daniel |
|
Down in the lion's den |
|
I know You went down there, Father |
|
You free Daniel once again |
|
That's why I said, oh Lord |
|
Do me like You did Daniel |
|
And stand by, stand by |
|
Well, sometimes I feel |
|
Like the weight of the world |
|
Is on my shoulders and it's all in vain |
|
When I begin to feel weak along the way |
|
You come and You give me strength again, oh |
|
The Hebrew children have been in fire |
|
Ten times hotter that it ought to be |
|
Just like You delivered them, Father |
|
I know You can deliver me, oh Lord |
|
I'm calling You, Jesus, stand by, stand by |
|
When I'm sick, Father |
|
Stand by me |
|
When the doctor walk away from my bedside |
|
Stand by me, Father |
|
When it seem like I don't have a friend |
|
I wonder will You be my friend? |
|
Stick closer than my brother |
|
Stand by |
