If it had not been for the shedding of His blood.
And if it had not been for God's amazing love.
It's plain to see what a wretched soul I'd be.
But through the power of His grace
I have been set free.
And now my life's been changed
I've been rearranged.
Sin has no hold on me.
He broke all my chains,
removed all my shame;
now my soul has found peace well you can
take all the wealth of this world's riches.
They can't compare to what I have with Him.
Tell me where would I be if it had not been?
If it had not been for the nail prints in His hands.
And if it had not been for God's salvation plan.
There would be no hope, only emptiness within.
But when He conquered the grace,
victory came through Him.
And now my life's been changed
I've been rearranged.
Sin has no hold on me.
He broke all my chains,
removed all my shame;
now my soul has found peace well you can
take all the wealth of this world's riches.
They can't compare to what I have with Him.
Tell me where would I be if it had not been?
Yes, you can take all
the wealth of this world's riches.
They can't compare to what I have with Him.
Tell me where would I be if it had not been?
Please, tell me where would
I be if it had not been?
If it had not been.

The group "Redeemed Forever" has a great rendition of this Perry Sisters song. It can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puMaA89KJAQ.

Hey, I just found it on the net. You can type in the Perry sisters if it had not been and hear it there. anyway here are the corrected lyrics


If it had not been for the shedding of His blood. If it had not been for His amazing love. It's plain to see what a retched soul I'd be. But through the power of His grace, I've been set free.

Now my life's been changed, I've been rearranged, sin has no hold on me. for he broke all the chains, removed all the shame, now my soul has found peace. you can take all the wealth of this worlds riches, it won't compare to what I have within. Tell me where would I be, if it had not been.

If it had not been for the nail prints in His hands. If it had not been for God's salvation plan. There would be no hope only emptiness within. But when he conquered the grave, Victory came to Him.

if you are still looking for this song here are some of the lyrics. maybe someone will know the rest. I am doing this from memory.

If it had not been for the shedding of His blood. If it had not been for God's amazing love. there would be no hope, only emptiness within. (can't remember this part) if it had not been.

ch) but now my life's been changed, I've been rearranged. Sin has no hold on me. For he loosed all my chains, removed all the stains. now my soul is set free. you can take all the wealth and this world's riches; it won't compare to what I have within, tell me where would I be...if it had not been?

If it had not been, for the nail prints in His hands. If it had not been for God's salvation plan. (can't remember the rest)

Sorry, that's all I can remember at this time but it's a start. Maybe someone can add to it.

I know one thing...if it hadn't been for His love and mercy, I'd probably be dead and in hell right now! I love Him with all my heart!!!!!

I've Been Changed - Booth Brothers [Ab]

Well, I've been to the river, I've been baptised
I've been washed in the blood of the lamb
I've been changed from the creature that once I was
And redeemed is now my name.

[Chorus]
I've been changed (I've been changed) I'm newborn now,
All my life has been rearranged, what a difference it made,
When the Lord came and stayed in my heart
O'h yes I've been changed.

Though my sins were scarlet, they're white as snow
I was bound but today I am free
I was lost in the darkness, but now am found
I was blind but now I see.

[Repeat Chorus]

Like the poor Hebrew children I wandered long
In the bare desert land to and fro
But I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's land
Where the milk and honey flows.

When at last in His presence I stand above
He will wipe all the tears from my eyes
And I'll thank Him for giving a wretch like me
Lasting hope beyond the sky.

[Repeat Chorus]

What a difference it made, When the Lord came and stayed in my heart...
O'h yes I've been changed........ I'm Changed

It Had Not Been The Lord lyrics
by Annie And Kelly Mcrae
(Verse 1)
Who was your shelter through the wind and the rain
Who kept you safe at the enemy's gate
Who was your shield on the firing line
Who gave you victory - who turned the tide

(Chorus)
If it had not been the Lord
Who was on your side
When the world rose against you
When the tide rose high
When the battle was lost
And we drowned in the dark
We would be in despair
If it had not been the Lord

(Verse 2)
Who was your help when all your friends had gone
Who stood by your side - never left you alone
Who healed your body - who spoke to your storm
Who made a way out of a dead end road

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
If it had not been for mercy
If it had not been for grace
If it had not been for the One who took your place
If it had not been for power
If it had not been for love
If it had not been for Jesus and His precious blood

(Repeat Chorus)

would you have the words to an old song that goes like this. I've been through the storm and rain. oh, but i made it. i suffered heartaches and pain oh, but i made it. hallijuah, thank you jesus i made it.

No,i'm afraid that this is not the one I was looking for.It's a southern gospel song and it goes something "Cause now my life's been changed,i've been rearranged,Satan has no hold on me." And the end of this chorus goes "Tell me where would I be,if it had not been
