If there ever was a time I needed You before Lord, I need You now And if there ever was a trial I couldn't handle on my own That's how this feels somehow And if there ever was a child that was crying out for help That's what this song's about (all about) 'Cause if there ever was a time I needed You before Lord, I need You now If I've ever had a friend who's always kept His Word Lord, I know it's You 'Cause there's never been a time that You've left me all alone Or been untrue 'Cause if I know anything, it's that You will meet my need Just like You always do So I'm leaning on Your Love and counting on Your grace Just to see me through I need You to remind me How faithful You have been And when I'm at my weakest That's where Your strength began If there ever was a time I needed You before Lord, I need You now And if there ever was a trial I couldn't handle on my own That's how this feels somehow If there ever was a child that was crying out for help That's what this song's about 'Cause if there ever was a time I needed You before Lord, I need You now 'Cause if I've ever had a friend, Lord, I know it's You And I need You now
