Lyrics
Yep
Sometimes when I get down and lonely
I think of Jesus for a little while
I'm right here, son, just call me
you and I we have an open phone line
and I go . . .
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time and I go
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
Why don't you come a little closer
you need to hear what I have in mind
but you've been gone for so long now
you've been listennin' to the party line
and I go . . .
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
When I think back at my life without You
I see myself just'a wastin' time
but I knew you Lord, when I was younger
I didn't mean to be the prodical son
and I go . . .
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
Now you know how my heart's been changin'
You knew everything would be just fine
I thank you Lord for all your patience
scratch my name off the waitin' line
and I go . . .
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
And now He holds my hands while I'm sleepin'
He walks beside me in the broad daylight
He rides beside me down life's roads yah
and He's my friend until the end of time
He's my friend until the end of time
and He's my friend until the end of time
and I go . . .
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba I know I need you
yup-a-dee-be-da-ba all the time
repeat
