♪♪ I Could Not Do Without Thee ♪♪

I could not do without Thee
O Savior of the lost
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost

Thy righteousness, thy pardon
Thy precious blood, must be
My only hope and comfort
My glory and my plea

I could not do without Thee
I cannot stand alone
I have no strength or goodness
No wisdom of my own

But Thou, beloved Savior
Art all in all to me
And weakness will be power
If leaning hard on Thee

{Instrumental Solo}

I could not do without Thee
For, oh, the way is long
And I am often weary
And sigh replaces song

How could I do without Thee
I do not know the way
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest
And wilt not let me stray

I could not do without Thee
For years are fleeting fast
And soon in solemn oneness
The river must be passed

But Thou wilt never leave me
And though the waves roll high
I know Thou wilt be near me
And whisper, “It is I.”
