Stand By the River

Lyrics

The road's been long, I'm a little bit weary A lot of miles behind me, but home's a lot nearer I've got one more crossing, it's a long way over Won't You stand by the river and wait for me Why don't You stand by the river, Lord And hold my trembling hand Cradle me, sweet Jesus From the cold dark sinking sand This is one trip I can't take alone I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so Stand by the river, wait for me He paved a road through the hills and the valleys In the middle of the desert, He placed a fountain Stand by me, Jesus, through the cold deep water Won't You stand by the river and wait for me Why don't You stand by the river, Lord And hold my trembling hand Cradle me, sweet Jesus From the cold dark sinking sand This is one trip I can't take alone I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so Stand by the river, wait for me Stand by the river, Lord (Stand by the river) And hold my trembling hand Cradle me, sweet Jesus (Cradle me, sweet Jesus) From the cold dark sinking sand (Cold dark sinking) This is one trip I can't take alone I'm kinda anxious to get on home, so Stand by the river, wait for me Stand by the river, wait for me Stand by the river, stand by the river Stand by the river and wait for me Stand by the river, stand by the river Stand by the river and wait for me
