LEAD:
There are times that we stand alone
Although we've done no wrong
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
There are time that we stand the test
Even when we've done our best
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
If you don't know the Lord
In the pardon of your sin
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
Just open up your heart
And let Jesus walk on in
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
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, Lord
Help me drink this bitter cup
Oh Lord, oh lord, stand by me
LEAD:
When everything goes wrong
There's trouble all in your home
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
I don't worry and I don't freight
Because God Almighty has never failed me yet
(Oh Lord, oh Lord, stand by me)
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, Lord
Help me drink this bitter cup
Oh Lord, oh lord, stand by me
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, Lord
Help me drink this bitter cup
