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
