Suppose!!!

Suppose that Christ had not been born

That faraway Judean morn.

Suppose that God, whose mighty hand

Created worlds, had never planned

A way for man to be redeemed.

Suppose the wise men only dreamed

That guiding star whose light still glows

Down through the centuries. Suppose

Christ never walked here in men's sight,

Our blessed Way and Truth and Light.

Suppose He counted all the cost

And never cared that we were lost

And never died for you and me

Nor shed His blood on Calvary

Upon the shameful cross. Suppose

That, having died, He never rose

And there was none with power to save

Our souls from death beyond the grave!

On faraway Judean morn,

Suppose that Christ had not been born!
