When I think how close you came to being gone A friend of mine is going through the same thing I did with you She's lost her man and must go on alone And she don't know if he'll come back again And I tremble cause I know how she feels When I think how close you came to being gone And I tell her that I turned my face to Jesus And said let Thy will be done But if you know anyway you're keepin' him Lord please show me one It scares me half to death to think of living life alone When I think how close you came to being gone The reasons were just about the same day after day she not can complain And she knows she chosed him the way from home And now she begs him just like I begged you And she cries and asks me what can she do And I think how close you came to being gone And I tell it that I turned my face to Jesus...
