Lyrics Had It Not Been - Bill & Gloria Gaither

Had It Not Been

Just suppose God searched through Heaven
And couldn’t find one willing to be
The supreme sacrifice that was needed
That would 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
Well I’m so glad He was willing to drink His bitter cup
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
Then forever my soul would be lost
