Text: Sonny James. Be With Me Lord.

Be with me, Lord
I cannot live without Thee.
I dare not try to take one step alone.
I cannot bear the loads of life unaided;
I need Thy strength to lean myself upon.

Be with me, Lord
And then if dangers threaten,
If storms of trial burst above my head,
If lashing seas leap everywhere about me,
They cannot harm, or make my heart afraid.

Be with me, Lord

No other gift or blessing
Thou could'st bestow could with this one compare.
A constant sense of Thy abiding presence,
Where'er I am, to feel that Thou art near.

Be with me, Lord
When loneliness o'ertakes me;
When I must weep amid the fires of pain;
And, when shall come the hour of my departure
For worlds unknown, Oh, Lord be with me then.
