Verse 1a

Sometimes I feel that I could fight an army

With just me and You,

and there’s no one could harm me;

Verse 1b

Oh, but sometimes I can feel a little shy.

It’s then I need to know

that You are there;

that’s why I’m singing

Chorus 1

Be with me Lord (When I’m down)

Be with me Lord (When I’m lonely)

Be with me Lord (When I’m tired)

Be with me, Be with me, (I need You only)

Chorus 2

Be with me Lord (When I’m down)

Be with me Lord (When I’m lonely)

Be with me Lord (When I need You, Lord)

Be with me, be my only God.

Verse 2a

I know You said that I would not be tested

more than I could bear,

and that You have my best in mind.

Verse 2b

With ev’rything that ever comes my way,

I know You’re in control

so hear me as I pray;

I’m singing

Verse 3a

Now help me, Lord, to share what I’ve been given.

Help me make a diff’rence with the life I’m living.

Verse 3b

As I show my neighbor where true treasures stored,

Help me know You promised You’d be with me, Lord!

I’m singing
