Lyrics

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh
Livin' in a cold, cold world
Sometimes it gets hard and you feel like
You can't make it out
But when I was just a little girl
My momma told me
Don't you worry
Hold your head and wear a smile
'Cause you're gonna have days
When you feel like things ain't goin' your way
Just take a moment and pray
Where would I be (I don't know)
Where would I be
Where would I be if
You ain't never heard a prayer from me? (Tell me whoa)
What would I do (Oh)
What would I do (I don't know)
What would I do if I didn't have (Yeah)
You to be there for me?
And I'm so thankful for
All the things
You've done
Showing me right from wrong
And cleansin' my soul
When all my friends
Turned their back on me
You made me see
You're the only one I need
(Ohh)
Where would I be (I don't know)
Where would I be
Where would I be if
You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
(Running back forever my Lord)
What would I do (Oh)
What would I do (Lord knows)
What would I do if I didn't have
You to be there for me? (I thank You God)
Where would I be (Where)
Where would I be
(Where would I be)
Where would I be if
You ain't never heard a prayer from me? (Without the love of my Lord)
What would I do
What would I do (What would I do)
What would I do if I didn't have (Without the love of my Lord)
You to be there for me?
Way in the midnight hour
I called Your name
'Cause I knew
You were watchin' over me (Over me)
And I don't know just where I'd be
If somebody never said a prayer for me
Where would I be (And I thank)
Where would I be
(I thank You Lord)
Where would I be if
You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do (Where would I be without You)
What would I do
What would I do if I didn't have (And what would I do)
You to be there for me? (I just wanna thank)
Where would I be (I just wanna thank You Lord)
Where would I be
(For never leaving my side)
Where would I be if (For never leaving my side)
You ain't never heard a prayer from me?
What would I do (Through all my trials)
What would I do (And all my tribulations)
What would I do if I didn't have (You stayed beside me)
You to be there for me?
And I thank, I thank, I thank, I thank You
I just wanna thank You
Lord
(Oh Lord)
I just wanna thank You
Lord
I
I just wanna thank You
Lord
I
(Somebody oughta testify for me)
I just wanna thank You
Lord
(Oh my Lord's been good to me y'all)
I just wanna thank You
Lord
(Oh my Lord's been good to me)
I just wanna thank You
Lord
I (And I'm gonna tell the world)
I just wanna thank You
Lord
(I'm gon' sing)
I just wanna thank You Lord
(And shout His name)
Where would I be
Where would I be (Woo! Oh Lord)
Where would I be if (Where would I be)
You ain't never heard a prayer from me? (Where would I be)
What would I do (I wouldn't be standing here tonight y'all)
What would I do (And I wouldn't be singing this song y'all)
What would I do if I didn't have (Through my trials and tribulations)
You to be there for me? (You stayed beside me)
I just wanna thank you Lord (Oh Lord)
I just wanna thank you Lord (Somebody outta testify)
I just wanna thank you Lord (Can I get a witness?)
I just wanna thank you Lord
