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 oh no no no
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
