If It Were Not For YOU

If It Were Not For YOU

_________________________________________



If it were not for You

Where would I be

If your Everlasting Arms

Were not carrying me

If it were not for You

My gracious, and merciful God

How would I know and understand

How much I am loved



If it were not for You

I would not be where I am now

If it were not for You

I would never have seen the Light

Of day again, in my deepest, darkest hour



How can I thankyou, for all You have done

Who would I be, if it were not for

Your Amazing Love

You have set me free, from the prison

Of my own destruction and design

And removed the chains and bondages

Which were wrapped around my life



You gave me a chance to live again

You healed and restored my heart

Which was once filled with so much pain

If it were not for you, I know

I would not be who I am today

I am who I am, only because

Of Your Love and Grace



When I was weak,

You breathed your strength into me

When I was filled with sorrow

You lifted my head, and gave me

Hope for tomorrow

When I fell, and could no longer stand

You upheld me, with Your

Righteous right hand



If it were not for You

I know I would not have made it through

The trials, the hardships and heartaches

I can only give You all the glory, for who I am today

You alone, God, deserve all the praise
