Lyrics
I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walkin' by my side
When I was driftin'
I was drifting on the sea of despair
And I was wonderin'
I was wondering if He's over up there
When Jesus found me
Jesus found me in my sinful life
He heard me prayin'
He heard me praying on my knees at night
And now I'm singin'
Now I'm singing a brand new song
Because I'm happy
Because I'm happy as I go along
And I don't know
I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
What would I do?
What would I do when a tear fills my eyes?
What would I do?
What would I do when it's my time to die?
Well, I'd be lonely, discouraged, burdened on the way
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day
I'd be so friendless
I'd be friendless all alone and blue
And I'd be helpless
I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do
And I don't know
I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
What would I do?
What would I do when the tears fill my eyes?
What would I do?
What would I do when it's my time to die?
I'd be lonely, discouraged, burdened on the way
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day
I'd be so friendless
I'd be friendless all alone and blue
And I'd be so helpless
I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do
And I don't know
I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day
If the Lord wasn't walking
Wasn't walking by my side
Wasn't walking by my side
