If I ever needed someone

Lord if I ever needed someone,
 I need You 
Lord  I ever needed someone, 
I need You   
To see me through the daytime 
 And through the long lonely night 
 To lead me through the darkness 
 And on into the light
 
To stand with me when I'm troubled 
And help me through my strife  
When times get so uncertain to turn to You  
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 onto  
And keep me from all fear 
Someone to be my guiding light 
And keep me ever dear
 
To keep me from my selfishness 
 To keep me from my sorrow  
 To lead me on to givingness 
 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, yeah, yeah
 
Oh, when I need You Yeah
, I need You very much  
To open up my arms to You 
Feel Your tender touch
 
To feel it and to keep it 
To the right here in my soul 
 And care for it and keep it with me 
 Never to grow old
 
Lord if I ever needed someone, 
I need You 
Lord if I ever needed someone,
 I need You 
 Lord if I ever needed someone, I need You
