If I Ever Needed Someone

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord if I ever needed someone I need You

To see me through the daytime

And through the long lonely night

To lead me through the darkness

And on into the light

To stand with me when I'm troubled

And help me through my strife

When times get so uncertain to turn to You

Turn to You in my young life

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to hold onto

And keep me from all fear

Someone to be my guiding light

And keep me ever dear

To keep me from my selfishness

To keep me from my sorrow

To lead me on to givingness

So I can see a new tomorrow

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to walk with

Oh someone to hold by the hand

Someone to talk with

Someone to understand, yeah, yeah

Oh, when I need You

Yeah, I need You very much

To open up my arms to You

Feel Your tender touch

To feel it and to keep it

To the right here in my soul

And care for it and keep it with me

Never to grow old

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord if I ever needed, needed someone, I need You

Lord, Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You
