IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LORD
Author(s): Singing Sam
Songbook: Unpubbed Inspiration
KeyWords: PRAYER,

Well the life we're living
Is a whole lot of giving
And we've got nothing to lose
We've tried before to open the door
But ended up singing the blues
If it hadn't been for Jesus
And His loving arms to squeeze us
We could've been just some old drunk
Oh, if it wasn't for the Lord
We'd all be sunk

Well, I believe that Jesus said it
So don't give me the credit
For the good things that I might do
If anyway I'm gifted
I shouldn't get lifted
Up in pride like the devil tells me to
If you wanna be a winner
Just admit that you're a sinner
All your goodness smells like some old skunk
If it wasn't for the Lord
We'd all be sunk

Chorus:
If it wasn't for Him
We'd all take a swim
In waters way over our heads
If it wasn't for the Lord
We'd have broken the cord
And might even ended up dead
So I'm speaking from a lesson
I learned when I was messing
Around and then I went kerplunk
Oh, if it wasn't for the Lord
We'd all be sunk

They say seeing is believing
And I know you'll be receiving
His love if you'll ask Him in
He's ready and willing
To show you while He's filling
Your heart and you can start again
So climb into the boat
And He can help you float
And soon your problems will all be shrunk
If it wasn't for the Lord
We'd all be sunk

[Repeat Chorus]

If it wasn't for the Lord
We'd all be sunk [2x]
