If The Lord Wasn’t Walking By My SideElvis Presley

Released: February 27, 1967

Songwriter: Henry Slaughter

Producer: Felton Jarvis

I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
When I was drifting
(When I was drifting on the sea of a despair)
And I was wondering
(I was wondering if Jehovah's up there)
When Jesus found me
(Jesus found me in my sinful life)
He heard me praying
(He heard me praying on my knees at night)
And now I'm singing
(Now I'm singing this happy song)
Because I'm happy
(Because I'm happy as I go along)
And I don't know
(I don't know)
Just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
What would I do
(What would I do when a tear fills my eyes)
What would I do
(What would I do when it's my time to die)
Well I'd be lonely, discouraged
Burdened on the way
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day

[Chorus]
I'd be so friendless
(I'd be friendless all alone and blue)
And I'd be helpless
(I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)
And I don't know
(I don't know)
Just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
If the Lord (wasn't walking) wasn't walking by my side
(wasn't walking by my side)

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
