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.
