Lyrics

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You See me through the daytime (See me through the daytime) And through the long, lonely night Lead me through the darkness (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And on into the light To stand with me when I'm troubled (Stand with me when I'm troubled) And help me through my strife At times, get so uncertain, I turn to You (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 on to (Someone to hold to) And keep me from all fear Someone to be my guiding light (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And keep me ever dear To keep me from all my selfishness (Keep me from all selfishness) To keepin' me from all my sorrow To lead me onto givingness (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 Eh (yeah) Yeah (yeah) To call on when I need You (Call on when I need You) And I need You very much To open up my arms to You (Feel Your tender touch) Feel Your tender touch To feel it and to keep it (Feel it and keep it) Tuck it right here in my soul (yeah-yeah) And care for it and keep it with me (Never, never to grow old) Never to grow old Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You One more time again Lord, if I ever needed, needed someone, I need You Lord, oh, if I ever needed someone, I need You
