It's Jesus and Me
Ira Stanphill 1946
I traveled alone upon this lonesome way,
My burdens were heavy and dark was my day.
I looked for a friend not knowing that He
Had all of this time been looking for me.
The road may be long to heaven’s pearly gate,
I know that it’s narrow; I know that it’s straight.
But Jesus is there through eternity,
We’ll travel along, just Jesus and me.
Chorus:
Now it is Jesus and me for each tomorrow;
For every heartache, and every sorrow.
I know that I can depend upon my newfound friend.
And so till the end, it’s Jesus and me.
Stanphill have written more than 500 gospel songs. At the age of 10 he was already a fluent musician, having learned to play the piano, organ, ukulele and accordion. He later learned to play the xylophone, guitar, saxophone and clarinet. A the age of 17 he was composing and performing his own music for church services, revival campaigns and prayer meetings. As a singer evangelist he traveled around the world and preached and performed in 40 countries. Later, as a pastor, he is said to have often opened his Sunday evening services at the piano playing and singing a new song which he had just written. The simple words of his many songs touch the hearts of many for they echo the thoughts of most believers. "I trust His leading, He'll never fail ... Tho' only one step ahead I see." "I'll hide my heartache behind a smile ... I know I'll find that all my burdens are silver lined."
