G                                    C                         G 
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 despair 
          C 
And I was wandering I was wandering if Jehovah's up there 
     G 
When Jesus found me Jesus found me in my sinful life 
            D7 
He heard me praying He heard me praying on my knees at night 

        G 
Now I'm singing now I'm singing this happy song 
            C 
Because I'm happy because I'm happy as I go along 
            G 
And I don't know I don't know just what I'd do 
       D7                        G 
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side 

             C 
What would I do what would I do when a tear fills my eyes 
             G 
What would I do what would I do when it's my time to die 
            A7 
Well I'd be lonely discouraged burdened on the way 
       D7 
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day 

          G 
I'd be so friendless I'd be friendless all alone and blue 
           C 
And I'd be helpless I'd be helpless wouldn't know what to do 
            G 
And I don't know I don't know just what I'd do 
       D7                        G 
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side 

              C 
What would I do what would I do when the tears fill my eyes 
              G 
What would I do what would I do when it's my time to die 
        A7 
I'd be lonely discouraged burdened on the way 
       D7 
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day 

Repeat #4 

       C           D7            G 
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
