Kevin Schaffer Spoken Intro:
"Ok we need help on this next song, we're going to teach it to you and you are going to sing with us. Yeah. And are you ready? And Steve's gonna teach you the words, it's real simple and it goes something like this."

God is standing by
So hush, don't you worry
Don't cry

Kevin Schaffer Spoken Vocal:
"Those are all the words you need... here's the second part of the melody."

God is standing by
So hush, don't you worry
Don't cry

Kevin Schaffer Spoken Vocal:
"Ok this will be a rehersal this time... you sing along."

God is standing by
So hush, don't you worry
Don't cry

Kevin Schaffer Spoken Vocal:
"Sing out this time... c'mon"

God is standing by
So hush, don't you worry
Don't cry

Kevin Schaffer Spoken Vocal:
"Now remember that because we'll be back to it in just a moment"

And when troubles come
Don't cry, no don't cry
When all your dreams
And would be fortunes pass you by
And when there is heartache
So many trials and life's unclear
Just look up toward heaven
There's a God and He's standing near

Chorus:
God is standing by
So hush (so hush), don't you worry (don't you worry)
Don't cry
God is standing by
So hush (so hush), don't you worry (don't you worry)
Don't cry

And when there is parting
All your friends and loved ones leave you
And you hurt so bad
You feel you just don't know what to do
And if you're wondering if there's anybody who
Really cares
Let me assure you, that there's a God
and He'll be right there

Repeat Chorus (x3)

So hush (so hush), don't you worry (don't you worry)
Don't cry
So hush (so hush), don't you worry (don't you worry)
Don't cry

Scriptural Reference:

"Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" Matthew 6:25
