On a crowded corner
Stood an old man with a sign
The message said that Jesus is coming soon
But all my hope would vanish
If I thought those words were true
Oh, I'd never make it if I had to wait
'Cause I only know when I kneel down to pray
Jesus is here today
People speak of heaven
And eternity's rewards
A day when we will walk beside the King
But all my steps would falter
Without Him there to lead
Oh, I don't have to wait to see His face
'Cause every time I turn my heart His way
Jesus is here today
Someday He'll come again in glory
On clouds of righteousness
But until He takes me home
I don't have to be alone
All my sin would overcome me
Without mercy as my friend
Oh, I couldn't lay it down without His grace
All I have to do is call His name
Jesus is here today
I only know when I kneel down to pray
Jesus is here today
