Then forever my soul would be lost Well 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 Ohhh Had it not been for a place called Mt. Calvary And 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 Well 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 my hands, pulled the nails that torment me Ohhh Had it not been for a place called Mt. Calvary And 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
