1 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.
Chorus
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.
2 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. (Chorus)
