Standing By Me

Standing By Me                                                

Verse One

I once was surrounded by sin,

And I felt like giving in.

I thought,

That old devil,

Might just win.

Then one dreadful night,

I was at the lowest, i could be.

So I dropped to one knee,

And I felt a hand, resting on me.

I didn't know who it could be.

Even though there was no one to see,

I knew that someone,

Was standing,

Standing by me!

Verse Two

As I looked back on that faithful night,

Something was not quite right.

I had to find out who

Had shown me the light.

Then I bumped into a man

And I told him my whole story

I asked him, who it could be.

He just smiled, as he knew, what had happened to me

He told me about this man,

Who had everlasting love

And who lives up above.

He loves me dear,

So there's nothing to fear.

Even though there's no one to see,

His name is Jesus

And he is standing,

Standing by me!

Chorus

Standing by me (2X)

Jesus is standing by me.

Wherever I am,

Wherever I may be.

If it's down on one knee,

Or together we stand.

I can feel him, holding my hand.

If only they could see,

That He’s standing,

Standing by me!
