Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
[Verse 2]
To see me through the daytime (See me through the daytime)
And through the long, lonely night
To lead me through the darkness
And on into the light
[Verse 3]
To stand with me when I'm troubled (Stand with me when I'm troubled)
And help me through my strife
The times get so uncertain, I turn to You
Turn to You in my young life
[Verse 4]
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
[Verse 5]
Someone to hold onto (Someone to hold to)
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me ever dear
[Verse 6]
To keep me from a-my selfishness (To keep me from my selfishness)
To keep a-me from all my sorrow
To lead me on to givingness
So I can see a new tomorrow
[Verse 7]
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
[Verse 8]
Someone to walk with
Whoa, someone to hold by the hand
Someone to talk with
Someone to understand
[Verse 9]
Yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
[Verse 10]
To call on when I need You (To 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)
[Verse 11]
To feel it and to keep it (Feel it and to keep it)
Just right here in my soul (Yeah, yeah)
And care for it and keep it with me
Never to grow old (Never, never to grow old)
[Verse 12]
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
[Verse 13]
One more time, again
Lord, if I ever needed, needed some-a-one
I need You
Lord, oh, if I ever needed some-a-one
I need You
