[Hook: Trio unison]
If it had not been for the Lord,
who was on my side,
I want to know where I'd be? [x2]
[Verse 1: Worship LEADER]
When I think about all the many times that I could have been cast away, and God's love and grace, sold my destiny and He kept me from all tragedy.
[CHANNEL A]
Each and everyday as I kneel and pray, and I ask the Lord for one more chance. New mercy that He let me see, that's why I can sing and dance.
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Worship LEADER]
Remember the time when I thought that I was just about to lose my mind. Lost in despair, thought no one cared, headed down the road to nowhere.
[CHANNEL B]
I can look back and see everything God's done for me,
through dangers seen and unseen, the Lord sho' protected me.
[BRIDGE:]
Where would I be, if He hadn't kept me? What would I say, if He hadn't shown me? How would I know if the Lord hadn't kept me; through all of my ups and downs, He's the Best Friend I have found.
I don't know what I would do, if it had not been for the Lord on my side!
[REPEAT Hook]
[Vamp:]
If it had not been for it,
if it had not been for it,
if it had not been for it,
for the Lord on my side.
If it had not been for it,
if it had not been for it,
if it had not been for it,
I don't know where I would be.
