[Verse 1:]
|
There are times we stand alone,
|
although we've done no wrong;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
There are times we stand to test,
|
even when we've done our best;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
If you don't know the Lord
|
in the pardon of your sins;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
Just open up your heart
|
and let Jesus walk on in;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh Lord, stand by me,
|
while I walk this lonesome road.
|
Oh lord stand by me,
|
help me bear this heavy load.
|
|
If I stumble Lord, pick me up,
|
help me drink this bitter cup;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
When everything goes wrong,
|
and there's trouble all in your home;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
I don't worry and I don't fret,
|
'cause God Almighty never failed me yet;
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Vamp:]
|
Oh Lord, oh Lord,
|
oh Lord, oh Lord.
|
|
[Ending:]
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
oh Lord (oh Lord),
|
stand by me (stand by me).
