(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)
