Lyric 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)
