Lyrics
Had It Not Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just suppose God searched through Heaven
And couldn't find one willing to be
The supreme sacrifice that was needed
Just to buy eternal life for you and me
Had it not been for a place called Mount Calvary
Had it not been for the old rugged cross
Had it not been for a man called Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
And I'm so glad He was willing to drink His bittercup
Although He prayed: Father, let it pass from me
And I'm so glad He never called Heaven's angels
From these hands, pulled the nails that torment me
Had it not been for a place called Mount Calvary
Had it not been for the old rugged cross
Had it not been for a man called Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
Then forever my soul would be lost
