1. If God had not been on our side, when cornered by our foes;
When there was no place left to hide, to whom could we have gone?
If God had not been on our side, when anger flared like fire;
They would have swallowed us alive, if God had not been on our side.

2. If God had not been on our side, when troubles surged like floods;
We would have watched the water rise, and waves mount up like walls.
If God had not been on our side, we would have had no hope,
been swept away in deadly tides if God had not been on our side.

3. If God had not been on our side, when hunters laid their snares;
Their steely teeth would snap us tight, we wouldn’t have a prayer.
If God had not been on our side, we wouldn’t have escaped;
But our God made the earth and sky, our help is only in his name.
