Jesus died, He took my place,
It was not just for me, but the whole human race.
God said, "Son, it is now time for You to go."
But what if He had said no?
So to the earth Jesus came,
A new thing He did, it has not been the same.
By His coming we can defeat our foe ...
But what if He had said no?
Our sins forced Him to come,
Man was doomed, He must die, that is the sum.
All because He loved us so ... But what if He had said no?
God knew no one else would do.
That's why He gave His life for me, for you.
So to the cross He had to go, But what if He had said no?
I see the world going to hell, I must leave.
To see His Son go, surely He did grieve.
So He came to the earth below.
But what if He had said no?
God gave us the very best He had.
He died for the good; He died for the bad.
No greater love on me could He bestow, But what if He had said no?
I'm so glad Jesus came.
He changed my life. I have not been the same.
All because He loved me so, And I'm so glad He did not say no!
