My friend, come stand beside me
Lately, I’m feeling so alone
If I came and washed the stones of the pathway
Then a hot sun turn the mud to dust
Calling the sheep in for the evening
There’s a voice calls above the howling wind
Says “Come rest beside my little fire,
We’ll ride out the storm that’s coming in.”
My friend you know me and my family
You’ve seen us wandering to these times
You’ve seen us in weakness and in power
You’ve seen us forgetful and unkind
All that I want is One who knows me
And can _____ on my face when I weep
And I give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep
All that I want is One who knows me
And can _____ on my face when I weep
And I give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep
