Just suppose that God had
searched through Heaven
And couldn't find one willing
to be
The supreme sacrifice
that was needed
That could 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
And 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 didn't call
Heaven's angels
From these hands pull the nails
that torment 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
Then forever my soul would
be lost
