if the lord wasn't walking by my side
(Words & music by Henry Slaughter) I don't know just what Iâ€™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 wandering (I was wandering 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) Now Iâ€™m singing (Now I'm singing this happy song) because Iâ€™m happy (because I'm happy as I go along) And I don't know (I don't know) just what Iâ€™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 Iâ€™d be lonely, discouraged Burdened on the way If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day Iâ€™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 Iâ€™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 Iâ€™d be so friendless, (I'd be friendless all alone and blue) 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 Iâ€™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.
