Lyrics by: Anne L.
Music by: Anne L.

Intro: (C9)-(C)-(Cmaj7)-(C) x2

Verse 1
(C9)Think(C)ing, of (Cmaj7)all You've done for (C)me
And (F)how Your Love has (Am)helped me clearly (G)see.
(C9)My broken (G)heart, (Cmaj7)only You could (C)mend.
You have always (Dm)loved me without (G)end.
'Cause You're (F)always right be(G)side me,
And You've (Em)never failed to (Fmaj7)guide me
And I just want to tell you, I love (Asus4)You.(A)

Chorus
'Cause You're (Dm)always, (Dm)-(C)always (G)by my side.
[alternate: Lord, You're always, always by my side.]
You (Em)pull me through the (F)darkness of this (Fm)night.
So (C)please, (C/B)oh (Am)please,(Am/G)
(F)I need You to (G)stand, by (C)me.

Verse 2
(C9)When I'm (C)down, (Cmaj7)defeated, in des(C)pair,
(F)Thinking 'bout the (Am)times that I just (G)turned and walked away.
(C9)I don't (C)see, (Cmaj7)how I can go (C)on.
(F)There were so many (Am)things that all went (G)wrong.
(F)But all I have to (G)do is call Your (Em)Name,
You've never (F)failed me.
(F)I know I need Your Love to pull me (Asus4)through.(A)

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
(C9)All my (C)love (Cmaj7)to You I (C)give,
I'll (F)walk with You through (Am)every passing (G)day.
(C9)To (C)You, for (Cmaj7)ever I'll be (C)true.
Though (F)I may fall, (Am)I'll just call Your (G)Name.
Oh, You've (F)kept me through the (G)years,
And you (Em)dried away my (F)tears.
Stand by me and help me carry (Asus4)-(A)on.

[Repeat Chorus]

(F)-(G)-(Em)-(F)-(A)-(Dm)-(Dm/C)

Please [Oh please]
I need you to stand;
I need you to stand by me.
