Need of Thy Grace

by Thomas A. Dooley

Stay by my side, Lord. 
Stay by my side.
Stay but a while, Lord, 
Let me confide.

Pray for Thy grace, Lord.  
Pray for Thy grace.
Stand in this place, Lord,
In need of grace.

Refrain:
You know my sins. 
You know my thoughts.
Forgive my weakness, 
Forsake me not.

Hear now this prayer, Lord.
Eyes teared, they stare
Into your face in
need of Thy grace.

This is your house for 
those who believe, Lord,
Stand in this place in
need of Thy grace.

Refrain:
You know my sins. 
You know my thoughts.
Forgive my weakness, 
Forsake me not.

Stay by my side, Lord. 
Stay by my side.
Stay but a while, Lord, 
Let me confide.
