Living below, in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone, to face temptation's sword (oh there let me tell you)
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Where could I go, oh where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul (for my soul)
Needing a friend, to help me in the end (oh there won't you tell me)
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 manner from above (let me tell you)
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 (a friend) to help me in the end (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 (could I go)
Oh where could I go (could I go)
Seeking a refuge for my soul (for my soul)
Needing a friend (need a friend)
To help me in the end (in the end) (oh won't you tell me)
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Where could I go but to the Lord?
The Lord
