If it had not been for the Lord on my side Where would I be? Where would I be? If it had not been for the Lord on my side Where would I be? Where would I be? He kept my enemies away He let the sun shine through a cloudy day Oh, he wrapped me in the cradle of his arms When he knew I'd been battered and torn If it had not been for the Lord on my side Tell me where would I be? Where would I be? He never left me all alone He gave me peace and joy I've never known He answered when I knelt down to pray And in victory, the Lord showed me the way If it had not been for the Lord on my side Where would I be? Where would I be? Where would I be? Where would I be?
