Lord, if I ever needed someone I need you
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 all my darkness
And on into the light
To stand with me when I'm in trouble
And help me through my strife

When times get so uncertain I turn to you
I turn to you in my young life
And I say, Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need you
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need you

Someone to hold on to
Keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me ever dear

Keep me from my selfishness
Keep me from my sorrow
Lead me on to givingness
So I can see a new tomorrow

And I say, Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need you
I say, lord, if I ever needed someone, I need you

Someone to walk with
Someone to hold my hand
Someone to talk with
Someone who'll understand

Someone with love that
A love that won't grow old
I'll keep it right here
I'll keep it right here, keep it within my soul

I say yeah, (yeah)
Yeah, (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah!)
Lord, if I ever needed someone

Let me hear you say, now
Lord, if we ever needed someone, we need you
I say, Lord, if we ever needed someone, we need you
I say, Lord, if we ever needed someone, we need you
I say, Lord, if we ever needed someone, we need you
(If we ever needed someone)

Lord, if we ever needed someone
Lord, if we ever needed someone, yeah, you
Lord, if we ever needed someone
Lord, if we ever needed someone, it's you
Lord, if we ever needed someone
Lord, if we ever needed someone, it's you
Lord, if we ever needed someone
Lord, if we ever needed someone, it's you

Needed someone, it's you
