Stand By Me Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

When the storms of life are raging stand by me 

When the storms of life are raging stand by me 

When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea 

Thou who rulest wind and water stand by me 

When the midst of tribulation stand by me when the midst of tribulation stand by me 

When the hosts of hell assail and my strength begins to fail 

Thou who never lost a battle stand by me 

[ guitar ] 

When the midst of faults and failures stand by me 

When the midst of faults and failures stand by me 

When I do the best I can and my friends misunderstand 

Thou who knowest all about me stand by me 

When I'm growing old and feeble stand by me 

When I'm growing old and feeble stand by me 

When my life becomes a burden and I'm nearing chilly Jordan 

O Thou Lily of the Valley stand by me (stand by me)
