Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just suppose God searched through Heaven And couldn't find one willing to be The supreme sacrifice that was needed To buy eternal life for you and me [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] But I'm so glad he was willing to drink that 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, pull thе nails that torment me." [Chorus] Had it not been for a place callеd 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
