Lyrics:

[Chorus]

Where would I be without the Lord on my side?

I wouldn’t be, without the Lord on my side

[Verse 1]

I don’t wanna pretend

It’s in me not to keep this thing a secret

I could’ve went the deep end, but the Lord gave me a reason

The same God that kept me though the darkest of the seasons

Through struggles and the questions, losing sleep and tryna keep it all together

It’s a fight and I refused to stop believing! (I refused to stop believing)

I refused to stop believing in the One who guides my every step

Owner of my every breath

Nothing but the grace of God, I’m still here ‘cause I’ve been kept

And so I can’t be silent, no apologies given

When you experience this type of freedom when you’re forgiven

When you got access to this joy, through all this hurt that you been healed from

And seen His faithfulness when all the bills come

I feel dumb for trusting in myself and not the Source

As I hold these thoughts captive and He leads me back on the course

Leads me back to the cross, to the blood that don’t drain, yet sustains

Got no reason to complain, only reasons to proclaim!

[Chorus]

Where would I be without the Lord on my side?

I wouldn’t be, without the Lord on my side

[Verse 2]

Why should I put a muzzle on?

Am I not a different man?

I used to hit the club and swore, but He had a different plan

I was just a blind and poor, shell with an empty soul

He made a grown man, out a lost and a broken boy

They loved me unhinged when it was all fun and games

I was bold about my sins, now I’m boasting in His name

They started talking bout me when they heard the bul changed

Was plotting, used to to prey, now I look for ways to pray

Whole armour, ain’t no room for camouflage

Seeing too much damage done

My eyes use to look so dead, now I’m looking to the Son

This commitment ‘til it’s over, ‘til I’m finished on this run

Testifying ‘bout the Lamb on earth, ‘til His Kingdom comes!

[Chorus]

Where would I be without the Lord on my side?

I wouldn’t be without the Lord on my side

Where would I be without the Lord on my side?

I wouldn’t be without the Lord on my side
