There's a song I want to do right now, that reminds me of my grandmother
And you've heard me tell my history how she prayed me through
When I got saved, when I got delivered from drugs and alcohol, my grandmother, she told me
She said, "There's a sound I want you to learn
And when you come back to my church, I want you to sing it"
If it had not been for the Lord on my side
Tell me where would I be? Where would I be?
If it had not been for the Lord on my side
Tell me, 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, so
If it had not been for the Lord on my side
Tell me where would I be? I wanna know where would I be?
Said if it had not been for the Lord on my side
Tell me, where would I be? Where would I be? Oh, yeah
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For it hadn't been for the Lord, where would we be?
Hallelujah!
