If you know where to get a good photo of Sherwin (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Black,
If thro’ the shadows my pathway should lead,
He will not leave me alone,
For I have found in my heart’s deepest need,
He will not leave me alone.
Refrain
He will not leave me alone,
He will not leave me alone;
He is my Savior, Redeemer and friend;
He will not leave me alone.
When I am weary with labor and care,
He will not leave me alone;
He will stand by me my burden to share,
He will not leave me alone.
Refrain
Satan may tempt me to turn from the way,
He will not leave me alone;
But His rich grace will sustain me each day,
He will not leave me alone.
Refrain
So I will trust Him wherever I go,
He will not leave me alone;
He is my Friend, and this one thing I know,
He will not leave me alone.
Refrain
