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
couldn?t find one willing to be
The supreme sacrifice that was needed
Just to find eternal life for you and me
chorus
Had it not been for a place called Mt. Calvary
and had it not been for the old rugged cross
and 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 that bitter cup
tho he prayed for to let it pass from me
and I?m so glad he called his angels
from these hands hold the nails that torment me
chorus
then forever my soul would be lost
