In my time of trouble, Lord,
Standing by the river, Lord,
being as lost as I have been
But I got my eyes on the prize
I'll be with Jesus by and by
I haven't found myself alone
I have known such emptiness
My heart has turned to stone
With my back against the wall
I have touched the spirit
I'll see the Master by and by
Take me back, sweet Jesus,
I've been wandering too long
My heart is open to the power of a song
I want to do my best, Lord,
And I've got my eyes on the prize
I'll be with Jesus by and by, by and by
I've got my eyes on the prize
I'll see the master by an d by
In my time of trouble, Lord,
I'm standing by the river, Lord,
yet I think about you again
being as lost as I have been
Well, I've got my eyes on the prize
I'll be with Jesus by and by
Oh, yeah, I've got my eyes on the prize
I'll see the Master by and by
Yeah, I got my eyes on you, babe
I'll be with Jesus by and by, by and by
