If not for Christ I would surely fall
Over myself and bear the fault
Of all my deeds so terrible
If not for Christ I would surely fall
If not for Christ I would surely fall

If not for Christ I would surely break
Under the weight of my mistakes
And in my sin be kept away
If not for Christ I would surely break
If not for Christ I would surely break

It was for me He bled and died
It was my sword that pierced His side
It was my name that Jesus cried
When on that tree He bled and died
It was for me He bled and died

And now to Christ I owe it all
He is to me a tower strong
Salvation does to me belong
It is to Christ I owe it all
It is to Christ I owe it all

Behind the Song:
"“If Not For Christ” is a statement of faith for us. The message is so timeless, so we deliberately created a hymn-like backdrop for the song. Our desire is that the listener get caught up in the message of surrender and complete dependence on God." - Jeromy Deibler (FFH)
