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
