Be with Jesus - Sam Cooke, The Soul Stirrers

Oh Lord, the time is growing nigh

When I must breathe my last breath inside

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Oh Lord, my friends have gathered 'round

They’re watching me slowly, slowly sinking down

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Now Lord, now Lord, now Jesus time have come

When I’m a leave my earthly home

Friends standing around, tear in the eyes

They know that I am about to die

But I’m not worried, I’m not afraid

I know you do, Jesus, just what You say

You be with me Lord, day and night

I’m not afraid, I said I’m dying, don’t leave me now

Oh Lord, I know you’ll stand by me

When I’m in trouble, when I’m in misery

And Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Oh oh Lord, I know You’ll stand by Your word

Whenever I call You, I know You have already heard

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Now Lord, I said farewell, fare thee well

Fare thee well to my friends down here

I got loved ones waiting for me up there

Oh Lord, others are waiting for me

What a reunion, I know that will be

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord
