If I Ever Needed Someone

Thank you for these inspirational words, Van Morrison

Lord, if 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

At times get so uncertain, I turn to You

In my troubles in life

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

And 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.

Someone to walk with

Someone to hold by the hand

Someone to talk with

Someone to understand

To call on when I need You

And I need You very much

To open up my arms to

Feel your tender touch

To feel it and keep it

To keep it 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.

More tomorrow.
