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