Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You gave me courage to believe
That all your goodness I will see
And if it had not been for you
Standing on my side where would I be
If not for your goodness
If not for your grace
I don't know where I would be today
If not for your kindness
I never could say
I'm still standing
If not for your mercy
If not for your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favor
I never could say
I'm still standing
But by the grace of God
To you I lift my offering
And set my heart on higher things
For if it had not been
For you standing on my side where would I be
If not for your goodness
If not for your grace
I don't know where I would be today
If not for your kindness
I never could say
I'm still standing
If not for your mercy
If not for your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favor
I never could say
I'm still standing
But by the grace of God
