Stand By Me

When I'm crossing Jordan river, stand by me She's a breast, to be my pillow, stand by me Now the water is chilly and cold, the love of Jesus is in my soul Like a flash, thunder rolls, stand by me Through hard tries and tribulations, stand by me The midst of false accutrations stand by me When trouble like a gloomy cloud, gathers thick and thunder loud Now who never knows the battle, stand by me When the devil tries to take me, stand by me And my earthly friends forsake me, stand by me And I'm travelling through the flame, trying to do the best that I can Although my friends misunderstand, stand by me In travelling through this world of troubles, stand by me When we must close our books and bibles, stand by me Now we come in down to die, Jesus take me home on High Just to reign with you above the sky, stand by me
