About The Song “He’ll Be With You”
The song was originally composed in May 2019 for a pilgrimage to East Africa with the Notre Dame Folk Choir. Since COVID-19, it has taken on a new meaning and has been used to inspire and provide hope for those who have been affected by the pandemic.
By your side, He’ll be with You
In trials you go through
And no matter where you may be
Just know Jesus is there with Yo
And He’ll never leave You
