If Jesus had not come

1. If Jesus had not come, our souls would still be lost,
No other was found to pay the awful cost
The price of sin, that God in Heaven demands
Death to the sinner! But still the penalty stands.{{more}}
2. If Jesus had not come, His love we neâer would know,
His grace on us He never would bestow;
Weâd live our lives in one long darksome night,
Forever groping in darkness, and never see the light.
3. If Jesus had not come, no joy or peace weâd find,
No cure for sin, naught for the troubled mind,
No guiding light to point the narrow way
That leads to life eternal, and Godâs own perfect day.
4. Thank God He came, His own beloved son,
Who trod the dusty streets of earth from dawn to setting sun,
Speaking the word of truth, doing his FATHERâS will,
From His lowly birth in Bethlehem, to His death on Calvaryâs hill.
5. And there upon the cross when the day of grace had begun,
We hear shout victoriously “Behold, behold, Tis done!
Redemptionâs price is paid; the sinner may go free,
Because he gave his life on that day at Calvary.
