If It Had Not Been for You [Verse 1] The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need, Beside peaceful waters, You are guiding me. Even through the valley, I will never fear, Your hand is upon me, and I know You’re near. When my heart was broken, You restored my soul, When the night surrounded me, You would not let go. Goodness and mercy kept following my life, And I will dwell with You beyond the other side. [Pre-Chorus] I lift my eyes toward the hills— I know where my help comes from. The Maker of heaven and earth Has kept me through every storm. [Chorus] If it had not been for You on our side, Tell me, where would we be tonight? You were our shelter, our strength, and our song, Our help in the trouble, carrying us on. We’ve come this far by mercy and grace; You put a new praise in this broken place. From the rising sun to the setting light, If it had not been for You on our side! [Choir Response] You kept us! When the enemy came—You kept us! You held us! Through the wind and the rain—You held us! You saved us! When we couldn’t save ourselves—You saved us! If it had not been for the Lord— Where would we be? [Verse 2] You are our refuge, the strength beneath our feet, When the earth starts shaking, You still give us peace. Though the waters thunder and the mountains move, There is still a river flowing straight from You. Underneath Your shadow, we are not afraid; You cover us with mercy through the darkest days. A thousand may stumble, ten thousand may fall, But You remain our fortress, the Keeper of us all. [Pre-Chorus] I lift my eyes toward the hills— My help is already here. The One who watches over me Will never sleep or disappear. [Chorus] If it had not been for You on our side, Tell me, where would we be tonight? You were our shelter, our strength, and our song, Our help in the trouble, carrying us on. We’ve come this far by mercy and grace; You put a new praise in this broken place. From the rising sun to the setting light, If it had not been for You on our side! [Verse 3 – Prayer] Create in me a heart that is clean, Renew the right spirit deep inside of me. Wash every failure, remove every stain, Give me the joy of salvation again. I enter Your gates with thanksgiving today; I come through Your courts with a heart full of praise. For You have been good, and Your mercy is sure; Your truth through the ages will always endure. [Bridge – Build] Let everything breathing praise the Lord! Let the trumpet sound and the cymbals roar! Let the organ rise, let the tambourine ring! Let the redeemed lift their voices and sing! Praise Him in the morning! Praise Him in the night! Praise Him through the sorrow! Praise Him for your life! Praise Him for His power! Praise Him for His grace! Praise Him because He brought you All the way to this place! [Vamp] You brought me through— Through the valley! You covered me— In the battle! You lifted me— When I stumbled! You rescued me— From the trouble! You brought me out— I’ve got a reason! You turned me around— I’ve got a reason! You planted my feet— I’ve got a reason! And right now, Lord— I’m going to praise You! [Final Chorus – Full Choir] If it had not been for You on our side, We never would have made it through the night. You were our shelter, our strength, and our song, Our help in the trouble, carrying us on. We’ve come this far by mercy and grace; Now there is a testimony all over this place. Let everything breathing testify: If it had not been for You on our side! [Ending] The Lord is my Shepherd— My refuge and strength. The Keeper of my soul— My help every day. I will enter with thanksgiving, And praise You all my life. If it had not been for the Lord— Where would I be tonight? Hallelujah… Hallelujah… Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord!
