Someone to walk with (Mavis Staples & Van Morrison)

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You 

See me through the daytime

And through the long, lonely night

Lead me through the darkness

And on into the light

Stand with me when I'm troubled

And help me through my strife

When times get so uncertain, I turn to You

Turn to You in my young life 

Refrain 

Someone to hold on to

Keep me from all fear

Someone to be my guiding light

And hold me ever dear

Keep me from all my selfishness

Keep me from all my sorrow

With your forgivingness

So I can see a new tomorrow 

Refrain 

Someone to walk with

Someone to hold by the hand

Someone to talk with

Someone to understand

To call on when I need You

And I need You very much

Open up my arms to You

And feel Your tender touch

To feel it and to keep it

Right here in my soul

Care for it and keep it with me

Never to grow old 

Refrain
