Lyrics

Verse 1

Were it not for
The Lord I’d be hopeless
Carrying all of my shame
I’d be lost
In the way of rebellion
Never aware of his grace

Chorus 1

But because of
The Lord I‘m forgiven
Jesus declared I am clean
He has cancelled
The record against me
Nailing my sins to a tree

Verse 2

Were it not for
The Lord I’d be prideful
Measuring all my success
I would covet against
Those above me
And act as above those with less

Chorus 2

But because of
The Lord all my boasting
Belongs to the Christ
Who redeems
No amount of my working
Could save me
Praise God
For His patience with me

Verse 3

Were it not for
The Lord I’d be anxious
Worrying loss and disease
I would never find
Peace in my suffering
I never find joy or relief

Chorus 3

But because of
The Lord who is sovereign
He has comforted He has sustained
In the Lord there
Is no senseless suffering
So grace for today I will pray

Verse 4

Were it not for
The Lord and His promise
Dying would lead me to fear
I would cling to this Earth
And these treasures
Thinking I’d miss something here

Chorus 4

But because
Of the Lord I have Heaven
A home where the saints
Will remain
It is there
Where I’ll see my Redeemer
And sing to the Lamb
Who was slain

Chorus 5

Oh because
Of the Lord I have Heaven
What a glorious day that will be
When my eyes meet
The face of my Savior
Who laid down His life for me

Verse 5

Were it not for
The Lord I’d have nothing
But with Him I have everything
