Verse 1
If it had not been for the Lord on our side
When strong raging floods surrounded us
We’d be surely crushed beneath the waves of sin
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord
Verse 2
If it had not been for the Lord on our side
When dry desert plains had wearied us
But for grace we’d still be wandering in those lands
If it had not been for
If it had not been for the Lord
Chorus
Our hope our help from age to age the same
Our God our rock most worthy to be praised
From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say
Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord
Verse 3
If it had not been for the Lamb on that cross
Wherе love full and free reached down to us (rеached to us)
There would be no peace with God, no peace with man
If it had not been for (if it had not been for)
If it had not been for the Lord
Chorus
Our hope our help from age to age the same
Our God our rock most worthy to be praised
From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say
Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord
Verse 4
If it had not been for the Lord on that day
Before Heaven’s throne what would we say
There with endless wonder we will shout Amen
If it had not been for (if it had not been for)
If it had not been for the Lord (ooh)
Chorus
Our hope our help from age to age the same
Our God our rock most worthy to be praised
From this mount of grace our grateful hearts will say
Evermore, if it had not been for the Lord (if it had not been)
If it had not been for the Lord
