In a world full of pleasure we're tempted and tried
the more we have here on this earth the less we're satisfied
The only thing that's lasting comes down from on high
I'll stand for Jesus   and let the world go by
 
I'll stand for Jesus and let the world go by
I'll claim His promise: He will supply
We'll walk together, the Lord and I
I'll stand for Jesus and let the world go by
 
When it's time to depart from this old body of mine
I don't want to own one single thing that I can't leave behind
I want to be free, so I can fly away
'Cause when I walk with Jesus I let the world go by
 
I'll stand for Jesus and let the world go by
I'll claim His promise: He will supply
We'll walk together, the Lord and I
I'll stand for Jesus and let the world go by
I'll stand for Jesus and let the world go by
