Lyrics for Had It Not Been by Gaither Vocal Band
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 bittercup, 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 Then forever my soul would be lost
Writer(s): Rusty Goodman
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
Then forever my soul would be lost

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 bittercup,
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
Then forever my soul would be lost
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
Then forever my soul would be lost

I know the song goes :
Just suppose God searched through heaven
And could not find
one willing to be
The supreme sacrifice that was needed
That could buy eternal life for even 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 sould would be lost
