I
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED SUNSHINE
THE LORD SENT A RAIN.
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED A HEALIN'
I HAD MY SHARE OF PAIN.
WELL I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A MOUNTAIN TOP
BUT A VALLEY'S ALL I SEE
AND JESUS ALWAYS SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.
II
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED FRIENDSHIP
I HAD TO STAND ALONE.
WHEN I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DOING RIGHT
THE LORD SAID I WAS WRONG.
WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED A BLESSING
THE GOOD LORD SENT A TRIAL
AND NOW I KNOW JUST WHAT IT MEANS TO SUFFER FOR AWHILE.
CHORUS
HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED
OH TO WALK THE NARROW WAY.
JESUS KNOWS HOW TO KEEP ME HUMBLE
YES HE DOES AND HOW TO MAKE ME PRAY.
WELL HE KNOWS WHEN THE CLOUDS COVERS THE SKY
BEEN A WALKIN' A VALLEY LOW.
WELL I'LL BE ON MY KNEES CALLING ON HIM.
THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE TO GO.
THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE TO GO...
