Jimmy Fortune – Be With Me lyrics

BE WITH ME
TONY BROWER/BMI
UNCLE FUNK MUSIC/ASCAP

FATHER IT'S ME ALL ALONE IN GETHSEMANE...THE TIME IS NEARING
MY BEST FRIENDS ARE ASLEEP...THROUGH DROPS OF BLOOD I WEEP...THIS THING I'M FEARING
NEVER SO ALONE AS ON THIS DAY
YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL DAD I PRAY

CHORUS
BE WITH ME THROUGH THIS THING THAT I'VE PREPARED FOR ALL MY LIFE
BE WITH ME FOR THE TIME IS NEAR I NEED YOU BY MY SIDE
I CANNOT LET THEM DOWN THEY'RE ALMOST FREE
I NEED YOU SO...BE WITH ME

THERE'S THE SOUND OF SOLDIER'S FEET...JUDAS KISSES MY CHEEK...
MY ARMS THEY'RE HOLDING
IT'S JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT'D BE...IT'S KINDA STRANGE TO FINALLY SEE IT ALL UNFOLDING
NOT A WORD TO PILOT DO I SAY...I JUST CLOSE MY LIPS AND IN MY HEART I PRAY...

CHORUS
BE WITH ME THROUGH THIS THING THAT I'VE PREPARED FOR ALL MY LIFE
BE WITH ME FOR THE TIME IS NOW I NEED YOU BY MY SIDE
I CANNOT LET THEM DOWN THEY'RE ALMOST FREE
THEY NEED ME SO...BE WITH ME

THEY CRY "CRUCIFY"...PETER DENIES ME...I'M NAILED TO THIS CROSS...
GOT TWO THIEVES HANGING BY ME
I CLOSE MY EYES...FATHER FORGIVE THEM...OH HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?

FATHER IT'S ME...THE TASK YOU GAVE TO ME IS NOW COMPLETED
OH BY THE WAY HERE ARE THE KEYS...SATAN FINALLY SEES HE IS DEFEATED
I'LL FINALLY GET TO BE WITH YOU TODAY...AND FROM YOUR LIPS I KNOW I'LL HEAR YOU SAY...

CHORUS
BE WITH ME...HERE'S THE THRONE THAT YOU'VE PREPARED FOR ALL YOUR LIFE
BE WITH ME...EVER RULING REIGNING RIGHT HERE BY MY SIDE
YOU DID NOT LET THEM DOWN NOW THEY'RE ALL FREE
I LOVE YOU SON...BE WITH ME
FOEVER AND EVER...BE WITH ME
