Someone stands beside me

2. Someone’s love enfolds me so tenderly;
   Someone sees my sorrow and knows when I’m grieved:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
3. Someone’s always ready to help me in need,
   standing close beside me in trouble and grief:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
4. Someone stands so faithfully at my side;
   His hand ever guards me and leads me aright:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
5. Someone grieves and suffers for me without end,
   that my tears and sorrows may all be transformed:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
6. Someone’s ever planning new joys for me,
   cannot bear to see me in trouble and grief:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
7. Someone knows what burdens and torments me;
   Someone sees and counts every tear that I weep:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
8. Someone won’t forsake me, He’s with me always.
   I will love and trust Him; He leads not astray:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
9. Someone will remain, though all else pass away;
   Someone waits above when all else fades away:
   Jesus, O Love Everlasting.
10. Someone with whom no one can ever compare;
    there is none as glorious as He anywhere:
    Jesus, my King and my Bridegroom!
