What Would Have I Done Without Him?
When I was young, my father died,My mother fretted, wept and cried,
But God stood strongly at my side;
What would I have done,
Without Him?
Soon afterwards I saw my sin,
Learned Jesus died my soul to win,
Opened my heart and asked Him in -
What would I have done,
Without Him?
As I look back through all the years,
In times of happiness and tears,
Or struggling with my inner fears,
What would I have done,
Without Him?
He never failed, was always there,
Surrounding me with love and care,
Answered many a heartfelt prayer,
What would I have done,
Without Him?
Now as this life draws to its end,
I still shall need a Faithful Friend,
On Christ I surely can depend;
What would I do -
Without Him?
