If It Had Not Been For the Lord On My Side

There's a song I want to do right now, that reminds me of my grandmother And you've heard me tell my history how she prayed me through When I got saved, when I got delivered from drugs and alcohol, my grandmother, she told me She said, "There's a sound I want you to learn And when you come back to my church, I want you to sing it" 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 Oh, he wrapped me in the cradle of his arms When he knew I'd been battered and torn, so If it had not been for the Lord on my side Tell me where would I be? I wanna know where would I be? Said if it had not been for the Lord on my side Tell me, where would I be? Where would I be? Oh, yeah Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For it hadn't been for the Lord, where would we be? Hallelujah!
