If it had not been for the Lord, on our side

When strong raging floods surraounded us

Where love full and free reached down to us (reached to us)
      Eb MajorEb  Bb/DBb/D        Bb/FBb/F  F#dim7F#dim7 G minorGm
There would be no peace with God, no peace with man

Before heaven's throne what would we say
      Eb MajorEb  Bb/DBb/D        Bb/FBb/F  F#dim7F#dim7 G minorGm
There with endless wonder we will shout, "Amen" (Pause)
