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 canceled
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
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

But 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
