Just Stand By the Lord

J-ust stand by the Lord, 
U-nder His endless power; 
L-et His righteousness reign
I-n your life to obey, not to
E-rr.

A-im to stand by the Lord, 
N-ever ever turn away; 
N-either backslide nor wane as you wait for the great day.

M-erry month of warm July, 
A-t the thirty-first break of day; 
G-et up and hold a prayer, 
S-aying, 'Please guide my way'.
I-nstead of sitting with the wicked, 
S-ave yourself from satan's sword; 
I-n spite of accusations, just stand by the Lord.
