What If...


So… hypothetically speaking, the greatest event in the history of mankind
What if it never took place? What if all was erased? Let me rewind…
The scriptures say if Christ wasn’t raised, my faith is useless and I’d still be guilty
I would be lost forever, wandering in the dark; I’d still be filthy
Alone I can’t meet God’s standard, its too high for me to reach
Alone I can’t atone for my sins, the price is too much for each
Just think; an eternity away from God would be the final destination
Without the blood paying the price, we couldn’t afford salvation
But God created the greatest love story and in His flawless plan
He would send His one and only down to redeem man
Prophets spoke of Him hundreds of years before He even came
And though they never saw Him, they still recognized that He’d reign
So this living Christ came down, gave His life, choosing to die
For a people who were dying, so they could be rewarded eternal life
Before Christ, the high priest stood on behalf of the congregation
But at the death of Christ, the veil was torn as a representation
That now we have free access to God who sits on the throne
Knowing that Christ is interceding for us, we are not in this alone
What if Jesus called on the angels to get Him before it was finished?
Truly everything leading up to that point would’ve been diminished
But while He hung on the cross, He was making mental notes
Making sure that He had completed everything His Father wrote
Even on the cross He interceded on our behalf, because He knew the math
Life minus a relationship with God equals going down a destructive path
The love of God is so strong, He sent Jesus to right our wrong
Jesus had so much power; death couldn’t hold Him too long
Many debate the day of his birth, the miracles, his words, his life and his death
But all that matters is He completed His assignment; that’s a truth we can’t reject
