Like a baby reaches out for it's mother's embrace
Like a flower blooms in spring
To feel the sun upon it's face.
Like a sailor needs a compass to get back home again.
That's how much I need the Lord.
That's how I rely on Him
Chorus
I rely on Him every hour, every day
I rely on Him every mile along the way
In all the year's I've known the Lord
And all the places that I've been.
I got all I ever needed when I relied on Him
There were times of disappointment
When He gave me sweet relief.
There were days my steps grew weary
And I know He carried me.
And when my worries seem so heavy.
I can't carry anymore.
I can feel the load get lighter
When I rely upon the Lord.
Chorus
In all the years I've known the Lord
And all the places that I've been
I got all I ever needed
When I relied on Him
I rely on Him
