lyrics

I was so lonely and I was so sad
Along came my Savior and he said to me
Do not despair, for I will be there
Do no despair, for I will be there

Do not despair, no do not despair
Do not despair for I will be there
Do not despair, for I will be there
That’s what he said to me

We walked along and he said to me
Come follow me, for I will be there
I will be there wherever you go
Do not despair, for I will be there

Do not despair, no do not despair
Do not despair for I will be there
Do not despair, for I will be there
That’s what he said to me

I was so lonely and I was so sad
When all of my friends deserted me
I hung on the tree for all of your sins
Do not despair, for I will be there

Do not despair, no do not despair
Do not despair for I will be there
Do not despair, for I will be there
That’s what he said to me
That’s what he said to me
