I want everyday to start with You <br />Be with me forever and all that I do <br />As I sing in church, my hands up in praise <br />I pray that You'll stand by me in all of my days <br />I wake up and rejoice, for its another day You have made <br />It's Your love, Oh Lord, that I would never trade. <br /> <br />Oh, stand by me Lord. <br />Pick me up when I fall <br />Stand by me Lord <br />You're my all in all <br />Walk with me through all the pain and sorrow, <br />Guide me to happiness, for I will follow, <br />It's You I will follow <br /> <br />Reach out and touch my heart and soul <br />I am a stone but You are a jewel. <br />I kept my sins locked up so You wouldn't see. <br />But You broke through because You have the key. <br />There's so many problems, excuses, and shame. <br />But that all goes away with the sound of Your name. <br />When my life finally comes to an end, I will not mourn, <br />For eternal life is around the bend. <br /> <br />Oh, stand by me Lord <br />Pick me up when I fall. <br />Stand by me Lord <br />You're my all in all. <br />Walk with me through all the pain and sorrow, <br />Guide me to happiness for I will follow <br />It's You I will follow <br /> <br />Stand by me Lord <br />For I live by Your word, <br />Stand by me Lord <br />For I will always follow You<br /><br />Samantha Young<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/font-color-crimson-stand-by-me-song/
