I Carry in My Pocket

I carry in my pocket 
A little white stone 
Its presence there reminds me 
That I am not alone 

I feel it when I’m walking 
Sitting or lying down 
When I’m working or resting 
At home or traveling ‘round 

It goes with me everywhere 
That I might not forget 
Jesus is always with me 
He has never left me yet.  

Just as my little stone is white 
In color through and through 
Jesus is pure and holy 
Blameless just and true 

My little stone is solid 
And it can never change 
Likewise yesterday today forever 
Jesus is the same 

I carry in my pocket 
A little white stone 
I know –Jesus is always with me 
My heart is his home
