Without Him
Elvis Presley · I Believe: The Gospel Masters [2009]
I could do nothing
Without him
I'd surely fail
Without him
I'd be drifting
like a ship without a sail
Without him
I'd be dying
Without him
I'd be enslaved
Without him
life would be worthless
But with Jesus, thank God I'm saved.
Jesus, oh Jesus.
Do you know him today.
Please don't turn him away.
Oh Jesus, my Jesus.
Without him
How lost I would be.
Without him
How lost I would be.
