When you have troubles, don't cry
Just remember that God is standing near by
And if disappointment come, it will surely pass by
So don't you worry, don't be discouraged and don't cry, no

Oh, God is standing by
So hush, there's no need to cry, no
Oh, God is standing by
So hush, wipe your eyes and don't cry, no, listen

And when you have heartaches
You wanna know why sometimes, listen
Just remember that God is standing near by
And when you have troubles, don't cry, no, no
He told me, that He would always be standing near by

Oh, God is standing by
He told me that He would always be standing by, oh yeah
Oh, God is standing by
So hush and wipe your eyes and don't cry
