After overcoming a bout of depression, Shonda looked back on all of the storms and trials God brought her safely through, she put pen to pad. Her endeavor was to “testify” through lyrics of her experience. Her hope was to encourage the listeners who may be dealing with hardships of their own. Her g...
VERSE 1
I was broken and then He came and took the fragments of my life
He made me over and made me better than I was, old past behind. Mm-hmm
I don’t know what could have been if it had not been for Him
My life would be a mess, I confess
CHORUS
Where would I be? If He didn’t take the time to come and rescue me
If He didn’t touch my blinded eyes so I could see
That life without Him is incomplete, oh yeah
If it had not been for Him back then, today
There wouldn’t be a me. Wouldn’t be a me. Mm-hmm
VERSE
I was desperate searching for any old thing to bring me joy. Ohhh
I soon discovered that no joy could compare to the joy of the Lord. Mm-hmm
I spent too many years shedding broken-hearted tears
But there’s a smile on my face because of grace (CHORUS)
VAMP
If it was not for the Lord where would I be (Where would I be)
I’d be out there on my own out on the sea (Where would I be)
Like a ship without a sail, that’s what I’d be (Where would I be)
Trying one thing to the next thing to make me happy (Where would I be)
Homeless and helpless out on the street (Where would I be)
Or strung out in the drug house could’ve been me (Where would I be)
But by the grace of God, He wouldn’t let it be (Where would I be)
He said I’ve got something better for you, just wait and see (Where would I be)
So I gave my life to Him, & gave it completely (Where would I be)
Now look what God has done, it’s a brand new me (It’s a brand new me)
I said look what God has done, it’s a brand new me (It’s a brand new me)
I said look what God has done, it’s a brand new me (It’s a brand new me)
I said look what God has done
ENDING
If it had not been for Him back then, then today, there wouldn’t be a me, uhh huhh
There wouldn’t be a me mmmm
I’d cease to be, mmm hmmm, I would not be
Ohhh, there wouldn’t be a me
