What Would I Do Without You?



What would I do without your friendship?
What would I do without your love?
You have always been there when I needed you.
I could tell you my dreams, my hopes, my desires.

You listened when I was in trouble.
You comforted me when I was sad.
You smiled when I was happy.
You gave me strength when I was tired.

What would I do if I could not call you?
What would I do if I could not hear you?
What would I do if I could not feel you?
What, dear Jesus, What would I do without you?
