Just suppose God searched through Heaven
He 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
And had it not been for a man called Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
But 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
And had it not been for a man called Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
And had it not been for a man called Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
Then forever my soul would be lost
