EVERY MORNING, AS WE RISE TO MEET THE DAY
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE THE TIME TO PRAY
PRAISING GOD, THE GREATEST HOLY ONE
AND THANKING HIM, FOR SENDING US HIS SON
FOR A DEBT, THAT WE, ALONE, COULD NEVER PAY

WE'D HAVE NOTHING, IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS
NO PEACE, NO JOY, WITHIN US
THERE'D BE NO LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER
AND GOD COULDN'T BE OUR FATHER
WE'D HAVE NOTHING IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS

BECAUSE OF MERCY, WE CAN NOW BELONG TO HIM
WE DON'T EVER HAVE TO BE ALONE AGAIN
WE CAN GIVE TO GOD OUR EVERY FEAR
FOR HE'S OUR FATHER, HE WILL ALWAYS CARE
AND THROUGH HIS GRACE, A DIFFERENT LIFE WE CAN BEGIN

WE'D HAVE NOTHING, IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS
NO PEACE, NO JOY, WITHIN US
THERE'D BE NO LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER
AND GOD COULDN'T BE OUR FATHER
WE'D HAVE NOTHING IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS

NO, WE'D HAVE NOTHING, IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS
NO PEACE, NO JOY, WITHIN US
THERE'D BE NO LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER
AND GOD COULDN'T BE OUR FATHER
WE'D HAVE NOTHING IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS

WE'D HAVE NO-THING, IF IT WAS-N'T FOR JESUS!
