I’ll Be With Thee (Live at The Keystone, Palo Alto, CA, June 18, 1978)

Lyrics

Just like the prodigal son, when he was far from home He wanted to go back and tell his father he had done wrong He fell on his knees, the Lord answered his pleas Said "If you go back home, I'll go with thee" Just like the Israelites, who were Pharaoh's slaves They suffered in bondage and they prayed for days The Lord said, "Moses, go set them free" "I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll go with thee" Just like old Joshua at Jericho The Jericho walls, he wanted to overthrow The Lord said, "Fight, and I'll bring you victory" "I am the Lord thy God, and I'll go with thee" I'll be with thee (I can hear God saying) I'll be with thee (Whenever you're in trouble) I'll be with thee (The power's in my hands) I'll be with thee Through the water, through the flood Through the fire, through the blood I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll be with thee I'll be with thee (He said) I'll be with thee (You don't have to worry) I'll be with thee (Don't have to feel afraid) I'll be with thee (The power's in my hands) I'll be with thee Through failure, success I'll understand when you done your best I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll be with thee I'll be with thee [Instrumental Break]- Just like the Israelites, who were Pharaoh's slaves They suffered in bondage and they prayed for days The Lord said, "Moses, go set them free" I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll go with thee" Just like old Joshua at Jericho The Jericho walls, he wanted to overthrow The Lord said, "Fight, and I'll bring you victory" "I am the Lord thy God, and I'll go with thee" He said, I'll be with thee (People, don't be afraid) I'll be with thee (When you feel you're in trouble) I'll be with thee (You feel afraid) I'll be with thee Through the water, through the flood Through the fire, through the blood I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll be with thee I'll be with thee (I hear Him saying) I'll be with thee (Can't you hear God saying) I'll be with thee (Whenever you're in trouble) I'll be with thee (You don't have to be afraid) I'll be with thee Through failure, success I'll understand when you done your best I am the Lord, thy God, and I'll be with thee I'll be with thee
