Lean On Me

Kirk Franklin

4

This is for the little child with no father

For that man that doesn't have a place to stay

And for that little boy living with AIDS

(Now tell your story, tell your story)

You can lean on me

There's a man (Oh yeah)

Standing on the corner

He has no home, he has no food

And his blue skies are gone (Yes it is)

Can't you hear him crying out

And there's a girl

Searching for a father and a friend

Praying that the storm someday will endBut instead of walkin' away

Open up your heart and say

Chorus:

I am hereYou don't have to worry, I can see your tears

I'll be there in a hurry when you call

Friends are there to catch you when you fall

Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

Oh there's a child who is sick and begging to be free

But there is no cure for his disease

He looks up to his mother as

As she hold (holds)

His hand (his hand)

Prayin' that someday the sun will shine again

And the pain (and the pain)

Pain will end (will end), come on

Chorus

Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus

When I've never seen His face

Yet I see you dying

And I turn and walk away

So hold my hand, let me take you to a friend of mine

He's waiting just to ease your troubled mind

Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know

Instead of walkin' away, open up

Open up your heart and say

Chorus
