Vespers – Evening Prayer I, 09-02-2023, Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time



With gratitude to our friend Eduardo Perez for sharing his musical gifts with us.

When the storms of life are raging,
Lord, stand by me.
When the current pulls me under,
Lord, stand by me.
When the rising waters toss me
Like a ship upon the sea,
You who rule the wind and water,
Lord, stand by me.

Stand by me,
Stand by me.
Lift me up from the restless sea.
When I am lost,
When love can’t be found,
When no one cares,
Lord, stand by me.

In the midst of persecution,
Lord, stand by me.
When my enemies surround me,
Lord, stand by me.
When the tyrant wields his terror
And the armies wage their might,
When the darkness overwhelms me,
Lord, stand by me.

Stand by me,
Stand by me.
Lift me up from the restless sea.
When I am lost,
When love can’t be found,
When no one cares,
Lord, stand by me.
