If It Had Not Been

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (Don't know why)

I can't take no credit for where I am today

That would be silly of me

But I've been guilty of gettin' beside myself

Doin' things my way

Makin' a mess, I confess

That I'm so undeserving now

No, I'm not worthy at all

For some reason, He chose me

To be a voice for Him

To make some noise for Him

Clearly, He saws somethin' I didn't see

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (Don't know why)

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (Don't know why)

Could have been the topic of some breakin' news

But He kept His hand on my life

And sometimes I forget to say, "Thank you"

For the things that He's done

Like givin' His son

So undeserving, y'all

No, I'm not worthy at all

But for some reason, He chose me

To be a voice for Him

To make some noise for Him

Clearly, He saws somethin' I didn't see

If it had not been for the Lord (The Lord, the Lord)

I don't know (Hey, yeah)

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (I don't know why)

If you know what I'm talkin' 'bout

Take a little voice and open your mouth

(And tell Him) Have your way

(Tonight) Do it, Lord

Use me, that's what I was made for

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (Don't know where I would be)

If it had not been for the Lord

(I don't like to think about it)

I don't know (Don't know where I'd be without Him)

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (Don't know where I would be)

If it had not been for the Lord

I don't know (I don't know, but I'm glad He did)
