Stand By Me

Stand By Me - Sister Rosetta Tharpe/Tindley

When I'm crossing Jordan river stand by me

She's a breast to be my pillow stand by me

Now the water is chilly and cold

The love of Jesus is in my soul

Like a flash thunder rolls stand by me

Through hard tries and tribulations stand by me

The midst of Incomprehensible stand by me

When trouble like a gloomy cloud

Gathers thick and thunder loud

Now who never knows the battle stand by me

When the devil tries to take me stand by me

And my carefully Incomprehensible stand by me

And I'm travelling through the flame

Trying to do the best that I can

Although my friends misunderstand stand by me

In travelling through this world of troubles stand by me

When we must close our books and bibles stand by me

Now we come in down to die

Jesus take me home on High

Just to reign with you across the sky stand by me
