If there ever was a time I needed You before, 
Lord I need You now.
And if there was a trial I couldn't handle on my own, 
That's how this feels somehow.
If there ever was a child that was crying out for help, 
That's what this song's about (all about).
Cause if there ever was a time I needed You before, 
Lord I need You now.

If I've ever had a Friend Who's always kept His Word, 
Lord I know it's You
Cause there's never been a time that You've left me all alone, 
Or been untrue.
Cause if I know anything it's that You will meet my need
Just like You always do.
Though I'm leaning on Your Love and counting on Your Grace
Just to see me through.

I need You to remind me how Faithful You have been.
And when I'm at my weakest that's where Your Strength began.

If there ever was a time I needed You before
Lord I need You now.
And if there was a trial I couldn't handle on my own, 
That's how this feels somehow.
If there ever was a child that was crying out for help, 
That's what this song's about.
Cause if there ever was a time I needed You before, 
Lord I need You now.

If I've ever had a Friend, Lord I know it's You
And I need You now.
