Verse 1: 

Troubles come and troubles go, 

long nights, me pacing the floor. 

When will these problems ever end, 

where can I find a friend; 

for Jesus Christ will abide, He's on Your side. 



Verse 2: 

Sometimes dark clouds fill my sky, 

people don't always know why. 

That's when I hear down in my heart, 

Jesus, my Lord won't depart, 

for He's always been my guide, He's on my side. 



Chorus: 

He's on your side, 

He will be with you in trouble, 

all your prayers He will not deny. 

He will hear your faintest cry. 

He's on your side. 



Bridge: 

Love stays, it will never go away; 

He'll stay, nobody but Jesus, I know.
