Lyrics If It Had Not Been for the Lord - Dorinda Clark-Cole

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 1:
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
Verse 2:
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 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).
Chorus
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.
