If I Ever Needed Someone - Van Morrison (范·莫里森)/Mavis Staples

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you

See me through the daytime

Through the long lonely night

Lead me through the darkness

And on into the light

Stand with me when I'm in troubled

And help me through my strife

When times get so uncertain to turn to you

Turn to you in my life

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you

Someone to hold onto

Someone to hold onto

Keep me from all fear

Someone to be my guiding light

And hold me ever dear

Keep me from my selfishness

Keep me from my sorrow

Lead me on to givingness

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 walk with

Someone to hold by the hand

Someone to hold my hand

Someone to talk with

Someone to talk with

Someone to understand

Someone to understand yeah oh yeah yeah

Call on when I need you

When I need you

I need you very much

And I need you very much

Open up my arms to you

And feel your tender touch

Feel it and to keep it

Right here in my soul

Right here in my soul

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 if I ever needed someone I need you

If I ever needed someone I need you

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
