Have you ever needed someone
A shoulder just to cry on
To ease the agony
And find tranquility
Or just have a sweet and gentle touch
That speaks of words
Speaks of words of love and mean so much
Ordinary just won't do
I need someone, my Lord, I need someone
That someone is You
That someone is You

A quest in order to find
What lies in my heart
The soul and the mind
Sometimes serenity
Sometimes there's misery
So many weaknesses and faults
I've got to learn to
Share the inner most and secret thoughts
The ordinary person just won't do
Lord I need, Lord, I need someone
That someone is You
That someone is You

Lord I need a special touch
It will mean so very much
Close friends they don't seem to understand
Problems in your life
So complexed you say who can comprehend
A tragedy when you need relief
Only Jesus Christ can supply your need
A sweet and gentle touch
That will speak a word of love
And mean so much
The ordinary just won't do
I need someone, Lord, I need someone
Yes, I do
That someone is You
That someone is You
The ordinary just won't do
I need a love that's pure and true I
Can always find it in You, Jesus
The ordinary just won't do
I gotta have a touch from You
I can always find it in You, Jesus

The ordinary just won't do
I need a love that's pure and true I
Can always find it in You, Jesus
The ordinary just won't do
I gotta have a touch from You
I can always find it in You, Jesus...
