Title : If It Had Not Been For The Lord

_______________________________________________

CHORUS:
If it had not been for the Lord
Who was on my side
I wanna know where I'd be
If it had not been for the Lord
Who was on my side
I wanna know where I'd be

VERSE:
When I think about
All the many times
That I could've been cast away
And God's loving grace
Came to rescue me
And kept me away from all tragedy
Each and every day
As I kneel and pray
And I ask the Lord for one more chance
New mercies that He lets me see
That's why I can sing all day

CHORUS

VERSE:
Remember the time
That I thought that I
Was just about to loose my mind, yeah
Lost in despair, thought that no one cared
Headed down the road to no where
I can look back and see
Everything God's done for me
Through dangers seen and unseen
The Lord's protecting me

(Where would I be)
If He hadn't kept me
(What would I say)
If He hadn't showed me
(Where would I go)
If the Lord didn't tell me

Through all my ups and downs
He lifts me to higher ground

CHORUS
[repeat]

I couldn't walk, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him)
I couldn't talk, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him)
I couldn't speak, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him, for the Lord)
I couldn't breathe, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him)
I couldn't live, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him)
I woudn't be, ya'll
(If it had not been for Him)

I don't know where I would be
