Oh Lord, the time is growing nigh

When I must breathe my last breath inside

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Come on

Oh Lord, my friends have gathered 'round

They're watching me slowly, I'm slowly sinking down

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Now Father, now Jesus, now Father time have come

When I'm a leave my earthly home

Friends standing around, tear in the eyes

They know that I am about to die

But I'm not worried, I'm not worried, I'm not afraid

I know you do, Jesus, just what You say

Come with me Lord, I'll follow you right

You be with me Father, day and night

I worked hard for you Jesus, sweat on my brow

I said I'm dying, I said I'm dying

I said I'm dying, don't leave me now

Oh Lord, I know you'll stand by me

When I'm in trouble, when I'm in misery

And Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Come on Jesus

Oh oh Lord, I know You'll stand by Your word

Whenever I've called You, I know You always heard

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Now Father, fare thee well, fare thee well

Fare thee well to my friends down here

I got loved ones waiting for me up there

Oh Lord, my mother and father too

And all the good friends that I once knew

Lord, in my dying hour, stay with me, Lord

Jesus (be with me Jesus)

Jesus (be with me)

Jesus (be with me)

My Father

I'm coming for you

Call you Jesus

Early in the morning

I call you Father

Late in the midnight hour

I want you to be with me Father

Don't leave me

Oh Lord

Now Jesus

I call you at noon time

I don't want you to leave me

I want you to stay with me Father

Don't leave me Jesus

With my burden

With my burden

It gets to heavy Lord

I want you to stay with me Father

Don't leave me

When my way

When my way Lord

It gets dark

When my friends turn they back on me

You said you would stay there Lord

Now Jesus

After a while

In my dying hour

I don't know how to die

But you said you would Father

Be my Father

On your breath Father

And I can breathe

My lungs filled with sweetly air
