Stand By Me Father

Oh Father, Youve been my friend
Now that Im 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, Im in a mean world
And Im 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
Heres another thing
They tell me that they put Daniel
Down in the lions den
I know You went down there, Father
You free Daniel once again
Thats 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 its 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
Im calling You, Jesus, stand by, stand by
When Im sick, Father
Stand by me
When the doctor walk away from my bedside
Stand by me, Father
When it seem like I dont have a friend
I wonder will You be my friend?
Stick closer than my brother
Stand by
