From the recording If It Had Not Been For The Lord
Lyrics
Time and time again I found myself all tangled up
In circumstances I could never understand
I felt so helpless without a place to hide
Many times I wondered if he hadn't come to rescue
Rescue me
If it had not been for the Lord who was on my side
Tell me where would I be?
If it had not been for him who was there
If it had not been for him who took me by my hand
Where in the world would I have been?
Where in the world would I have been?
Shame distress and pain that's what you saved me from
Heading for the grave you came and turned me around
Now I'm living a life last full of grace
You keep me wondering where would I be
If you hadn't come to rescue
You rescued me
Over mountains high and through valleys low
You have kept me safe when the billows roll
I'm so glad you saved me, you saved me
I was tossed and driven by the waves of life
But your saving grace has kept me alive
Now I rejoice ‘cos you saved me, you saved me
Don’t you know that God is good
He will do just what he says
Don’t you know he’ll fulfil
Every single promise that he made
