[Verse 1]
I wonder, is there anybody here
Who late at midnight sheds briny tears
All because they didn't have anyone
To help them along the way, oh Lord
Now if there is anybody here
Let me tell you just what I've done
I asked Jesus to build a fence around me
And protect me everyday now
I asked him, oh
[Chorus]
Jesus be a fence around me everyday
And I asked him one more time
Jesus, could you please protect me
As I travel on my way
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it will hurt to your heart
To see your loved one, loved one depart
Because death, death is no stranger to anyone
No no no no
But just as long as you stay in the fog
You’ll never have to worry
When death knock on your door
Just ask Jesus to be a fence around
And protect you everyday now
Keep on asking him
[Chorus]
Oh Jesus, come on Jesus, I need you everyday
(Jesus be a fence around me everyday)
Jesus, protect me as I travel on my way
(Jesus be a fence around me everyday)
I need it, I need you Jesus so come on and
Would you be a fence around me?
(Jesus, protect me as I travel on my way)
One more time...
