Stand By Me Father Lyrics - Joy In My Soul: The Complete Sar Recordings - The Soul Stirrers

Oh, Father You've been my friend 

Now that I'm in trouble 

Stand by me to the end, oh, oh 

I want You to stand by, stand by 

Well, all of my money and my friends are gone 

God, I'm in a mean world 

And I'm so all alone, oh, oh 

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 10,000 Philistines, oh 

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 feed Daniel once again 

That's why I said 

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 

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 

When they doctor walk away from my bedside 

Stand by me father 

When it seem like I don't have a friend 

I wonder would You be my friend 

Stand closer, stand by
