If it had not been for the lord

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
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
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
Chorus
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
I can look back and see
Everything God's done for me
Through dangers seen and unseen
The Lord show protected me
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
Chorus
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
