Well, you know that didn't
go how I wanted it to.
I was hoping that tonight I'd get back home.
But I busted my tyre, set my car on fire,
And now I'm lonely, lonely...
Standing in the cold.
I get a little bit schitzo
if I get too stoned,
I crawl like a skunk
if I get too drunk.
I get a little bit mad
when I'm being bad.
Then I feel such shame,
When I think of Your name.
I know that God's
gonna keep me going,
And I know that God's
gonna help me through.
I hope that He's gonna
be by my side, 'cause I know
I can't do it alone.
(When you're standing in the cold,
Just cry out to the Lord,
There's only one way out of here!)
Jesus! (The Judge of all of us
He died upon the cross)
Then they found the tomb, it was open!
(And rose again that we might live)
Turn to the Lord, no one else but Jesus.
Just stand, stand with the Lord.
Stand with the Lord. Jesus!
I'm standing with the Lord.
I'm standing in the presence of God,
Hallelujah I'm here with the Lord.
