stand by me lyrics

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
