Lyrics

(Bb)Should my (Eb)heart

not be (Cm)hum ble,

should my (Db)eyes

fail to see,

(Bb)should my (Eb)feet

some times (Cm)stum ble on the (Db)way,

stay with me.

(Bb7)Like the (Eb)lamb

that in (Eb7)spring time (Edim)wan ders (Fm)far

(Fm)from the (D)fold,

(Bb7)comes the (Gm)dark ness (Cm7)and the (Fm7)frost,

(Db)I (Bb)get (Ab)lost,

I (Bbsus2)grow (Eb)cold.

I grow (Gm)cold,

I grow (C)wea ry,

and I (Fm)know

I have sinned,

and I (Abm7)go

seek ing (Db)shel ter and I (Gb)cry

in the (Bbsus4)wind.

(Bb6)Though I (Eb)grope

and I (Cm)blun der and I’m (Db)weak

and I’m (Bbsus4)wrong,

(Bb)though the (Eb)road

buck les (Cm)un der where I (Db)walk,

walk a (Bbsus4)long.

(Bb7)Till I (Eb)find

to my (Eb7)won der (Edim)ev ’ry (Fm)path

(Fm)leads to (D)thee,

(Bb7)all that (Gm)I can (Cm7)do is (Fm7)pray,

(Db)stay (Bb)with (Ab)me.

(Fm7)Stay

(Bbsus2)with

(Eb)me.
