VERSE 1
Don’t know how I ever did it
Go a day without You in it
Guess You were and I just missed it
For all the ways that life worked out
When I look back man there’s no doubt
How lost I’d be right now
CHORUS 1
If it wasn’t for Jesus
God knows where I’d be
Still tryna find healing in all the wrong things
Thinking I knew ‘bout freedom
With chains on my feet
All rhyme and no reason
All me and no meaning
If it wasn’t for Jesus
VERSE 2
Don’t know why You ever
You ever did it
Trading places with a cynic
Gave your life while I dismissed it
But in my mess, or in my doubts
You reached through hell
You brought me out
I doubt I’d still be here right now
CHORUS 2
If it wasn’t for Jesus
God knows where I’d be
Still tryna find healing in all the wrong things
Thinking I knew ‘bout freedom
With chains on my feet
All rhyme and no reason
All me and no meaning
If it wasn’t for
BRIDGE 1
Your love Lord since I found it
Don’t wanna live without it
Hands high, open hearted
where would I be without
Your love Lord since I found it
Don’t wanna live without it
Hands high, open hearted
Where would I be
CHORUS 3
If it wasn’t for Jesus if it wasn’t for Jesus
I’d still be falling to pieces
But missing a piece
All rhyme and no reason
All me and no meaning if it wasn’t for
BRIDGE 2
Your love Lord since I found it
Don’t wanna live without it
Hands high, open hearted
where would I be without
Your love Lord since I found it
Don’t wanna live without it
Hands high, open hearted
Where would I be without it
