“If the Lord Wasn’t Walking by My Side” is a gospel song originally performed by Elvis Presley. The song was written by Henry Slaughter and Mosie Lister and was included on Presley’s 1960 gospel album titled “His Hand in Mine.”

The lyrics of the song express gratitude for the presence of God in the singer’s life, acknowledging that without Him, they would be lost and alone. The chorus of the song goes:

If the Lord wasn’t walking by my side
When the way gets dark and I fall and I stumble and I cry
I would be lost in the darkness, oh how thank God I’m saved
By the Lord who’s walking by my side.

The song is a testament to the importance of faith and the comfort that it can bring in difficult times. Presley’s powerful and emotive delivery of the song has made it a beloved classic in the gospel genre.
