Verse 1
Someday, in your heart, you're going to need Him,
Though you may not feel that need just now.
All your life may be one ripple of joy,
Laughter glad without alloy.
But some day clouds will gather on your life's horizon,
Sin will take its toll within your soul,
Then you'll meet some dark and tragic hour,
Crying for the Lord to make you whole.

Chorus
And then you'll need Him, oh, you'll need Him,
Need His cleansing power in your life.
Do not wait until that day,
Take the Savior while you may,
For someday in your heart, you'll surely need Him!

Verse 2
Has your life been spent in serving Jesus?
Have you found in Him a resting place?
"No," you answer to these questions I ask,
Quite content without His grace.
But someday you will find yourself so broken-hearted,
Sun will set and birds will sing no more.
Every day will be a dreary midnight,
Then where'll be that joy you knew of yore?

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
Just remember but a thread doth hold you,
Hanging over dark Eternity.
Should no warning come and this thread break
Where then, sinner, will you be?
And listen, if you gain this world with all its treasure,
Paying no attention to your fate,
When you leave the things of Earth behind you,
Only then you'll find 'twill be too late!

[Repeat Chorus]

[Alternate Chorus lyrics:]
And then you'll need Him, oh, how you'll need Him,
Need His cleansing power in your life.
Do it now without delay,
Take our Savior while you may,
For one day in your heart, you're going to need Him!
[Or: For this day in your heart, you surely need Him!]
