I
I WAS THERE WITH LITTLE DAVID, I WAS THERE WITH OLD MOSES
I WAS THERE WITH DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN.
I WAS THERE WITH PAUL AND SILAS,
I WAS THERE WHEN THEY STONED STEPHEN
I WAS THERE WITH JOHN THE BAPTIST TILL THE END.
II
I AM ALPHA THE TRUE BEGINNING, I AM THE ROCK OF AGES
I AM THE ROD OF ABRAHAM, I AM THE GREAT I AM.
I AM LOVE IN ALL THE STORIES, I AM TRUTH IN ALL IT'S GLORY
AND I'M THE ONLY BRIDGE TO CROSS THIS LIFE OF SIN.
III
I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE LONELY
I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE TROUBLED
I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE NO FRIEND
I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOUR TEMPTED
I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN SIN SURROUNDS YOU
AND I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN YOUR LIFE HAS REACHED AN END.
CHORUS
OH CHILDREN, OH CHILDREN
OPEN YOUR EYES SO YOU CAN SEE.
OH CHILDREN, OH CHILDREN
OH MY CHILDREN FOLLOW ME.
