I Cannot Do Without Thee

Verse 1

I cannot do without thee,
O Savior of the lost!
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost.

Refrain

I cannot, would not,
Dare not, could not,
Will not do without thee.
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own.

Verse 2

I cannot do without thee,
I cannot stand alone;
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own.

Verse 3

I cannot do without thee,
I do not know the way;
Thou knowest and thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.

Verse 4

I cannot do without thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And soon, in solemn loneliness,
The river must be passed.
