1. When I was in trouble, my way was dark as night, But Jesus gave me comfort, and brought me to the light; He took away my sorrow, and made my burden light, He is everything to me. * Refrain: If it wasn???t for the Lord, tell me what would I do? Oh, tell me, what would I do? Oh, tell me, what would I do? If it wasn???t for the Lord, tell me, what would I do? He is everything to me. 2. He is bread in dry places, He???s water in a thirsty land; He is my rock and shelter, He holds me by the hand; And when my friends forsake me, close by my side He???ll stand, He is everything to me. 3. So when my life is ended, and I must surely die, Then He will be my gateway up to that home on high; And in that golden city, there???ll be no more goodbyes, He is everything to me.
