(First Chorus)
Jesus is here to stay
When troubles get in my way
I just get down on my knees and pray
I know He’ll see me through (because)
I trust Him each and every day
No matter what the world may say
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
He is my Friend
(Jesus set my spirit free)
I can count on Him
(He gave His life on Calvary)
I know when I’m all alone
(When Satan tries to get to me)
He’s right there by my side
He is my guide
(Like an anchor on the angry sea)
His love is wide
(He keeps me where I ought to be)
And every time I talk to Him
(And when I need to talk to Him)
He’ll answer by and by, oh…
(Repeat First Chorus)
He’s always there
(There’s nothing He would rather do)
He really cares
(Than spend every hour taking care of you)
His love outshines the stars above
(If you let Him prove His love is true)
Just open up your eyes
(He’ll open up your eyes)
His ways are wise
(Even when we may be stumbling)
His love’s the size
(He offers you and me eternity)
Of a million, billion galaxies
(I’ve got a home built by the King)
And there’s room enough for you
(Repeat First Chorus)
(Second Chorus)
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
When troubles get in your way
Just get down on your knees and pray
I know He’ll see you through
Just trust Him each and every day
No matter what the world may say
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
