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
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
