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
