[Chorus]
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need you
Oh Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need you

[Verse 1]
See me through the daytimes (See me through the daytime)
And through the lonely nights
To lead me through the darkness
And on into the light, oh yeah
Stand with me when I'm in trouble (Stand with me when I'm trouble)
And help me through my strife (Oh yeah)
When times get so uncertain
I turn to you in my life

Someone to hold onto (Someone to hold onto)
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me every day, yeah, yeah
To keep me from my selfishness (Keep me from my selfishness)
To keep me from my sorrow
To lead me on to givingness
So I can see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, if I ever (If I ever) needed someone (Needed someone)
I need you (I need you)
Oh Lord, if I ever (If I ever) needed someone (Needed someone)
I need you (I need you)

Someone to walk with
Someone to hold my hand, yeah (Yeah)
Someone to talk with
Someone to understand, oh yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
To call on you when I need you (Call on when I need you)
And I need you very much, oh yes, I do (Oh yes, I do)
To open up my arms to you, yeah (To open my arms to you)
And feel your tender touch, oh, woah, woah, oh
To feel love and to keep it (Feel love and to keep it)
Just right here in my soul, right here in my soul (Yeah, yeah)
And then care for it and keep it with me, yeah, yeah
Never to grow old

[Outro]
If you're sick, he can heal you quick
If you have cancer, God is yo' answer, ohh
If your kid's on dope, he can give 'em hope, yes he can
Yeah-heh-heh-heh
If your life is down
He got the power to turn it 'round, ah, heh
Oh, ho-ho, ohh, oh
If you can't pay your bills
I'm a livin' witness, he'll give you the skill
Ohh, yes he will
Yeah, yeah
