But I did not know that it would be so hard
Though You are by my side
No matter how hard I try it all ends up a lie
You see each tear I cry
Yet You are by my side

Yes, You are by my side
You know each fear I hide
You give me Your hand
And You hold me when I can't stand–I can't stand

You carry me to the end
He carries me to the end
Time and time and again
My Friend—Jesus

(repeat)

I cannot make it again
Yet You carry me to the end
And all my wounds you mend
My Friend—Jesus
