Otherwise
Will you be there when I need you,
an everlasting lighthouse bright.
When things go bad for me a help,
your help is what I need these days.
Take my hand and give me your words
Will you be there when I need you,
How can I survive without you
I’ll hit the rocks without your light.
In the past you’ve helped me so much,
how can my failing faith not see.
Will you be there when I need you,
Give me the faith that overcomes.
In and of myself I do naught
My love for you makes me now ask
How can it be otherwise, Lord
Will you be there when I need you,
