Well He came and died, Christ was glorified
All was prophesied, Heaven was open wide
He said by Him we could be redeemed
Now our hope is in Him to save us from all our sin
Imagine Christ had never come where would our hope be today
What if we were waiting for His birth would we have a faith to state
Instead we wait for His return and pray for it in the coming day
Had it come before could we not ignore that it's not too far away
What if we had (we had) followed someone else (followed) and stood knocking (someone) on their door (we had followed someone)
Or suppose we chose (for we) a different path (chose a) would we search (different) for something more (something)
Think if we had (we had) never known (never) of Him (known Him) how could our lives be this full (be this full)
Or if the gift of eternal life was a story after all
Chorus 2:
For we can not be ourselves without Him
No, and no one can make us whole the way the Father can (the way the Father can)
Now some might try some different ways to replace the Lord in their lives today
I'm so glad He's shown the way to my heart so I can say
We were all born into this world we were oh so incomplete
Our hearts were made with one part gone and it's that part that we need (that we need)
The Lord has given another gift and He calls it our free will
And when we choose to believe in Him it's the empty part He fills
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
What if Christ had never come where would our hope be today?
