While on my way to and from, yeah
Trying to do good
And let my goodness show
The enemy came
And try to take my life
You took all I had
And I don't know why
And while I was down
While I was down and needed a friend (oh Jesus)
Some stopped and looked, oh yeah
And started walking again
They walked right by
On the other side
And I dropped my head
I began to cry yeah yeah yeah
But like a good neighbor (Jesus was there)
(I mean if you know if Jesus to be there)
Lift up your head (lift those heads to the way up to)
Don't you despair
No matter what I'll always be there
For you
Like a good neighbor
Jesus is there
(Is he always there fellas?)
Jesus is there
(You know what is it)
He wound up my wounds
Healed my broken heart
He put me together
Where I was torn apart
He gave me a place
Where I could lay down...
Said to me: "Rance, peace is yours"
Right here and right now
(You know what I said to myself)
Oh Lord, please
Don't leave my side
(He looked at me and said)
No don't you worry (oh no boy)
You are my child
And from then on
Whenever I'm get depressed
I look to Jesus
He gives me rest
Like a good neighbor
Jesus was there
Lift up your head
Don't you despair
No matter what
I'll always be there
For you
Like a good neighbor
Jesus is there
Like a good neighbor
Jesus was there
Lift up your head
Don't you despair
No matter what
I'll always be there
For you
Like a good neighbor
Jesus is there
(I wanna tell somebody)
Like a good neighbor
Jesus was there
Don't wait to your blessin' come
Lift your head and give it praise right now
Anybody see our house in the future give me praise right now!
