SONG OF PRAISE
“If It Had Not Been for the Lord ”
Refrain
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.
He wrapped me in the cradle of his arm
when he know I had been battered and scorned, so…
[Refrain]
He never left me all alone;
he gave me peace and joy I’d never known.
He answered when I knelt to really prayer,
and in victory the Lord brought me his way, so…
[Refrain]
