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
