Lyrics

If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t make it alive
You kept me covered through the hurt and strain
You broke the chain, You washed the stain
If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I don’t know where I’d be tonight

I walked in with my head down low
Heavy heart, but I still held hope
Seen too much loss, seen too much fall
But Your grace stayed steady through it all
When the enemy tried to pull me under
You stepped in hard like rolling thunder
Every trap they laid, You let it fail
I’m still standing here, and that says it all

You were right there when I needed You most
Close in the fire, close to my soul
I was never alone, never left behind
Lord, You’ve been on my side all this time

If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t make it alive
You kept me covered through the hurt and strain
You broke the chain, You washed the stain
If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I don’t know where I’d be tonight

They set a snare, but You saw it plain
Tried to shake my faith, but You held my hand
Through the storm and dark, through the late-night hour
You gave me strength and You gave me power
I’m a living witness, I can testify
That Your love still holds, and Your grace don’t lie
When I should’ve been gone, You made a way
So I lift my voice and I give You praise

You were right there when I needed You most
Close in the fire, close to my soul
I was never alone, never left behind
Lord, You’ve been on my side all this time

If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t make it alive
You kept me covered through the hurt and strain
You broke the chain, You washed the stain
If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I don’t know where I’d be tonight

Now I got a song and a heart full of praise
Every scar I carry points back to grace
I was lost, but You brought me back
Put my feet on solid ground and kept me on track
So I’ll sing it loud like a holy cry
No weapon formed can take what’s mine
You stayed faithful through it all
And I’m still here standing tall

If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t make it alive
You kept me covered through the hurt and strain
You broke the chain, You washed the stain
If it wasn’t for the Lord by my side
I don’t know where I’d be tonight
