I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
When I was drifting
(When I was drifting on the sea of a despair)
And I was wondering
(I was wondering if Jehovah's up there)
When Jesus found me
(Jesus found me in my sinful life)
He heard me praying
(He heard me praying on my knees at night)
And now I'm singing
(Now I'm singing this happy 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
If the Lord (wasn't walking) wasn't walking by my side
(wasn't walking by my side)
