When I'm walkin' by the river

Stand by me

And Jesus Christ, He's my pillow

Stand by me

When this world can be so cold

I've got love for Jesus in my soul

I need faith on this long rocky road

Stand by me



Now when the devil, devil tries to shake me

Stand by me

And when my only friend forsakes me

Stand by me

I've been travelin', travelin' through the land

Tryin' to do the best that I can

When all my friends misunderstand

Please stand by me



Now I'm travelin' through this world of trouble

Please stand by me

When I'm feelin' so alone, please stand by me

And when I'm comin', comin' down to die

Jesus you take me up high

And I'll wave goodbye from the sky

Stand by me
