Living below, in this old sinful world

Hardly a comfort can afford

Striving alone, to face temptation's sword

Where could I go but to the Lord?


Where could I go, oh where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul

Needing a friend, to help me in the end

Where could I go, but to the Lord?


Neighbors are kind, I love them everyone

We get along in sweet accord

But when my soul, needs manna from above

Where could I go but to the Lord?


Where could I go, oh where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul

Needing a friend, to help me in the end

Where could I go, but to the Lord?


Life here is grand, with friends I love so dear

Comfort I get from God's own word

Yet when I face this chilling hand of death

Where could I go but to the Lord?


Where could I go, oh where could I go?

Seeking a refuge for my soul

Needing a friend, to help me in the end

Where could I go, but to the Lord?
