Verse 1
If it had not been for the Lord on our side
When strong raging floods surrounded us
We’d be surely crushed beneath the waves of sin
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord

Vesrse 2
If it had not been for the Lord on our side
When dry desert plains had wearied us
But for grace we’d still be wandering in those lands
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord

Chorus
Our hope our help from age to age the same
Our God our rock most worthy to be praised
From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say
Evermore
If it had not been for the Lord

Verse 3
If it had not been for the Lamb on that cross
Where love full and free reached down to us
There would be no peace with God no peace with man
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord

Verse 4
If it had not been for the Lord on that day
Before heaven’s throne what would we say
There with endless wonder we will shout Amen
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord
