The smiles and the laughter The shine and the glitter Were all I ever needed in life The center of attraction The call to attention I loved it all and yet I realized How dim, how lonely My heart was so empty I needed someone to save me How could I have missed That You never left me at all What could I have done If You ever left me at all YOU have turned my life around Through all the ups and downs O Lord, You never left me The One to rely on The Strength I can lean on O Lord you've always been there for me And how could I have lasted When no one I'd have trusted Came through in the end just for me How dim, how lonely My heart was so empty I needed someone to save me
