Sometimes when life seems gentle and blessings flood my way I turn my gaze away from you and soon forget to pray But when the sky grows darker and courage turn to fear My anxious voice ceies uoward with words you long to hear Lord, I need You When the sea of life is calm O Lord, I need You When the wind is blowing strong Whether trials come or cease Keep me always on my knees Lord, I need You Lord, I need You Lord, help me to remember I'm weak but You are strong I cannot sing apart from You for Lord You are my song Although I'm prone to wander and boast in all I do Lord keep my eyes turned upward sonI depend on You Lord, I need You When the sea of life is calm O Lord, I need You When the wind is blowing strong Whether trials come or cease Keep me always on my knees Lord, I need You Lord, I need You
