If it had not been for the Lord on my side

Tell me where would I be?

Where would I be?


If it had not been for the Lord on my side

Tell me where would I be?

Where would I be?


Because He kept my enemies away

And let the sun shine through a cloudy day

O he wrapped me in a pedal of his arms

I?m not afraid cause he?s here with me

(Everywhere I go I?m not afraid) 


If it had not been for the Lord on my side

Tell me where would I be?

Where would I be?


Emini ulithunzi lami

Empini usihlangu sami

Uhamba nami eduze kwami

Wherever I go I?m not afraid


If it had not been for the Lord on my side

Tell me where would I be?

Where would I be?


Your grace and mercy brought me this far

Your grace and mercy brought me this far

Grace brought me this far

Your grace brought me this far
