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 turns to fear

My anxious voice cries upward

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 so I depend on You
