There are times we stand alone, although we've done no wrong; oh Lord (oh Lord), oh Lord (oh Lord), stand by me (stand by me).
There are times we stand to test, even when we've done our best; oh Lord (oh Lord), oh Lord (oh Lord), stand by me (stand by me).
[Chorus:]
Oh Lord, stand by me, While I walk this lonesome road. Oh lord stand by me, Help me to bear this heavy load.
If I stumble, Lord, pick me up, Help me to drink this bitter cup; Stand by my father and my mother, Stand by my sister, Jesus and my brother. Stand by me (stand by me).
