Favorite Song of the Day (St. Patrick's Day)

If I Needed Someone by Van Morrison
(Click here to listen to a 30 sec. snippet of the song on last.fm)

Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You

To see me through the daytime
And through the long, lonely night
To lead me through the darkness
And on into the light

To stand with me when I'm troubled
And help me through my strife
As times get so uncertain, I turn to You
Turn to You, in my young life

Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You

Someone to hold onto
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me ever dear

To keep me from my selfishness
To keep me from my sorrow
To lead me on to givingness
So I can see a new tomorrow

Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You

Someone to walk with
Whoa, someone to hold by the hand
Someone to talk with
Someone to understand

Yeah
Yeah
To call on when I need You
And I need You very much
To open up my arms to You
Feel your tender touch

To feel it and to keep it
To keep it right here in my soul
And care for it and keep it with me
Never to grow old

Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone
I need You

One more time, again
Lord, if I ever needed,
needed some one
I need You
Lord, oh
If I ever needed some one
