Someone stands beside me

Sheet music

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