I am 29 years old and holding, Married, I like to write southern gospel most but mix it up a bit. I write down notes from inspirational Sermons or just something someone said. One of our granddaughters helped with writing the children's songs when she was 7 years old.

Inspired by a lesson at church
Lyrics
IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS
Dee Miller 1999
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!
