If The Lord Wasn`t Walking By My Side Lyrics

If The Lord Wasn`t Walking By My Side

(Words & music by Henry Slaughter)
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)
