If I Ever Needed Someone

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 the 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 Turn to you in my young life Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Someone to hold onto And keep me from all fear Someone to be my guiding light And keep me ever dear To keep me from my selfishness To keep me from my sorrow To lead me on to givingness So I can see a new tomorrow Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Someone to walk with Someone to hold my hand Someone to talk with Someone to understand To call on when I need you And I need you very much To open up my arms to you And feel your tender touch To feel it and to keep it Just right here in my soul And care for it and keep it with me Never to grow old Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Lord if I ever needed someone I need you Lord if I ever needed someone I need you --- If I Ever Needed Someone - Van Morrison
