What Would I Do Without You?

What would I do without You
Dear Savior, precious Friend?
Who could I bring my heart to?
On whom could I depend?

What would I do in sorrow
If You weren’t at my side?
And who would share my burdens?
In whom could I confide?

What would I do rejoicing
Without Your Name to bless?
Who’d be my joy’s fresh wellspring?
Whose worth could I confess?

What would I do when planning
If You weren’t near to guide?
Who else the ages scanning
Could wisdom’s help provide?

What would I do in weakness
Without Your loving hand?
Who else God’s strength could access?
Who else could understand?

What would I do while fading
If You weren’t near with grace?
Who else my footsteps aiding
Could guide me to that place?

What would I do without You
My Savior, Friend, so dear?
Oh how I love and thank You
For always being near!
