Stand By Me Father

of father you've been my friend
 now that I'm in trouble
 stand by me to the end, ohoh
 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, ohoh
 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
