Stand By Me Father

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
