[Verse 1]
Well, the blue's still in the water and the blue's still in the sky
And way beyond the blue there's someone watching from on high
My clothes may be ragged and my shoes may be worn
But I've been a wealthy boy since I've been born

[Chorus]
Because I call Him when I'm troubled and I call Him when I'm weak
And He always pulls me through my troubles some way and I believe
He'll be there
(He'll be there)
He'll be there
(He'll be there)
Like He always is to answer when I call Him

[Verse 2]
My mother used to tell me I should take it slow
The pace is not what matters, it's the direction that you go
Keep your feet upon the path and your eyes upon the goal
You'll have all the joy a heart could ever hold

[Chorus]
And I call Him when I'm troubled and I call Him when I'm weak
And He always pulls me through my troubles some way and I believe
He'll be there
(He'll be there)
He'll be there
(He'll be there)
Like He always is to answer when I call Him
[Outro]
Like He always is to answer when I call Him
