1 In the storms of life, my Savior’s near,
Jesus never leaves me,
In its raging floods I have no fear,
Jesus never leaves me.

Refrain:
Walking daily by His side,
In His promise I abide,
He will ever be my guide,
Jesus never leaves me.

2 I can hear His voice, He speaks to me,
Jesus never leaves me,
Saying, “child look up, and trust in me.”
Jesus never leaves me. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ the friends of earth forsake me here,
Jesus never leaves me,
In the darkest hour He’s ever near,
Jesus never leaves me. [Refrain]

4 I will sing and praise and work for Him,
Jesus never leaves me,
Until Heaven’s gate, I enter in,
Jesus never leaves me. [Refrain]
