79. That's Why I Need My Savior So

1 I do not know just what awaits me,
In this old world as on I go;
I only know that death is coming,
That's why I need my Savior so.

Chorus:
I do not fear deaths chilly waters.
I do not dread the crossing o'er;
I only know this fate awaits me,
That's why I need my Savior so.

2 I cannot see beyond deaths curtain,
I cannot choose my time to go;
There's only One who knows my journey.
That's why I need to trust Him so. [Chorus]

3 There's one thing sure we all must travel
Thru this dark hour we all must go;
The day, the hour has been appointed,
That's why we need the Savior so. [Chorus]
