| 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 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| (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 |
| I’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 I’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 |
| (wasn't walking by my side) |
