if it had not been

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

i can't take no credit for where i am today

that would be silly of me

but i've been guilty of getting beside myself

doin things my way

makin a mess i confess

that i'm so undeserving ya'll

no i'm not worthy at all

for some reason he chose me

to be a voice for him

to make some noise for him

clearly he saw somethin i didn't see

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

could have been the topic of some breakin news

but he kept his hand on my life

and sometimes i forget to say thank you

for the things that he's done

like giving his son

so undeserving ya'll

no i'm not worthy at all

for some reason he chose me

to be a voice for him

to make some noise for him

clearly he saw somethin i didn't see

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

i know what i'm talking bout

take little voice and open your mouth

tell him have you waited for the lord

excuse me that's what i was made for

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know

if it had not been for the lord

i don't know
