Stand by Me

STAND BY ME by CHARLES ALBERT TINDLEY When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; When the storms of life are raging, stand by me, When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea; Lord who rules the wind and water, stand by me. -- In the midst of tribulation, stand by me; In the midst of tribulation, stand by me, When the host of hell assail and my strength begins to fail, Lord who never lost a battle stand by me. -- In the midst of faults and failures stand by me; In the midst of faults and failures stand by me, When I've done the best I can and my friends misunderstand, Lord who knows all about me, stand by me.

In the midst of persecution, stand by me; In the midst of persecution, stand by me, When my foes in war array undertake to stop my way, Lord who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me. --- When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me, When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me, When my life becomes a burden and I'm nearing chilly Jordan, Lord the lily of the valley, stand by me. -
