Stand by ME+
...when dignity is stripped;
they took My+ clothing, as well.
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
...when rejection faces you;
family, friends, and followers
forsook ME+
when I+ needed them most, too.
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
...when your good acts
are misunderstood;
they said My+ acts of mercy
were acts of be'elzebub.
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
...when lying spirits defame you;
they dogged My+ path incessantly
... and still do...
Come, stand by ME+
Stand by ME+
...when excluded, though you love;
they hid their faces from ME+, too,
as I+ died to cover their sins.
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
...when death strikes;
Death struck My+ Body
but soon found out it struck
its own death-blow, not Mine+ !
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
...through every earthly trial;
I+ will not hide Myself+ from thee.
Come, stand by ME+.
Stand by ME+
It's then you'll find
the only way to minister
to My+ hurt
is
when you come
...and stand...
by ME+.

who is learning to come
and stand
by HIM+.
