Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Well I was in need and I needed a friend
I was alone and I needed a hand
I was going down
But someone rescued me
Chorus:
My God cares too much to say
His mercies are new everyday
I get down to pray
And then help is on its way
I walk by faith and not by sight
If things go wrong, it'll be alright
'Cause someone greater
Is watching over me
(Chorus)
Now in faith, I believe
I've got everything I need
I walk by faith and not by what I see
I've got friends in high places
I've got someone I can call
And I've got someone watching over me
