If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side
Recorded by Elvis Presley
Written by Henry Slaughter
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
