On My Side

I would've been lost by now

If it had not been for You

Who was always on my side oh weh

The enemies would've laughed at me

If it had not been for You

Who was always on my side oh weh

I was down on my feet, cried through the night

I lost every hope, I thought I would die

What people heard in stories was my real life

Oh now I look behind, I know it was You

It was You that night

Kept us our life till we went through the river

I could remember, how a mother left his own child

How a son could leave his own father

Rebellion in the heart of the young ones

They started even killing their old ones

So many people were caught in the crossfire

But we were spared ah

You gave us the reason, why 41:10 was written

E no be to pretend, but to give us a good end

And I go tell them the reason, the reason

I would've been lost by now

(I would've been lost and forgotten)

If it had not been for You

(Not been for You)

Who was always on my side oh weh

(If it'd not ben for You)

The enemies would've laughed at me

(They would've laughed at me, laughed at me)

If it had not been for You

(Oh my God)

Who was always on my side oh weh

Tell me how far could I go?

How fast could I run?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

(Would You tell me please)

Tell me how far could I go?

If it had not been for You

(Oh Lord)

Who was always on my side oh weh

This life's a constant fight

I be the salt and the light, no need the limelight

I look my kids in their eyes and know we'll be fine

I switched my life around, my card declined

Stab wounds, lost friends so they demise

My life in a crisis, I didn't have Christ

Hard days, my reality weren't nice

Managing no meat but we would eat rice

And now the word is my truth and it be life

And now I live good because my God's good

I've had a lot of lost one but God's still good

I'm still on probation

I remember fighting immigration

For my deaf aunt

Who said that God can't

They tried mock then, we had the last laugh

We fast and pray while these others do witchcraft

I'm trying reach the promise land from a deep past

I seek'd and I asked

I would've been lost by now

(I would've been lost and forgotten)

If it had not been for You

Who was always on my side oh weh

(You're always on my side)

The enemies would've laughed at me

If it had not been for You

Who was always on my side oh weh

(You're on my side)

Tell me how far could I go?

(How far could I go?)

How fast could I run?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Tell me how far could I go?

If it had not been for You

Who was always on my side oh weh?

You never leave me nor forsake me

You never leave me nor forsake me no no

This is the confidence that I have

You never leave me nor forsake me ohhuhhh

I knowww ehhh
