[Verse 1]
Jesus, I know I neglected to do
The little things, the big things you wanted me to
I've let you down, Jesus, that's not hard to see
Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me

[Chorus]
Stand by me, Jesus, forgive me somehow
If there's any hope left, don't leave me now
I might be worth savin', I'm trying to be
Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me

[Verse 2]
It's late, I know, and I made you wait
But don't turn the light out, don't lock the gate
Forgiveness and patience, that's all I need
Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me

[Chorus]
Stand by me, Jesus, forgive me somehow
If there's any hope left, don't leave me now
I might be worth savin', I'm trying to be
Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me

[Outro]
Ah, Jesus, oh Jesus, don't give up on me
