2) If not for the Divine Plan, before the Earth was made;
The Lamb Of God, for sinners slain, God's Love, there displayed.
To break the curse when sinful deeds, reared their evil head.
If not for this, all burn in Hell, spiritually dead.
3) If not for God's Commanding Love, there to save mankind;
All people to the things of God, forever would be blind.
A little lower than the angels, mankind on the Earth.
If not for this, no chance to have, spiritual rebirth.
4) If not for Precious Blood Of Christ, to wash our sins away;
When we accept The King Of Kings; The Truth, The Life, The Way.
Before Him there, we couldn't stand, due to sins desires.
If not for this, we're sentenced to Eternal Lake Of Fire.
5) If not for the Perfect Life, that Christ alone, would live;
To redeem mankind form sin; His Life, Christ would give.
Without the shedding of The Blood, sins debt cannot be paid.
If not for this, God's Righteous Judgment, it would not be stayed.
6) If not for the warning there, by Prophets Of The Lord;
That God's Word is sharper there, than any two edged sword.
Every prophecy fulfilled, not one was ever fake.
If not for this, it's a choice, no one could ever make.
7) If not for the nails in, Our Lord's Sinless Hands;
Our sins held Him to The Cross; Justice did demand,
A sinless substitute should die, to pay sins total cost.
If not for this, mankind would be, there forever lost.
8) If not for all the has been done, for mankind to be saved;
Eternal doom would be the fate, at death and the grave.
For those repenting of their sin, to take God's Gift Of Love,
If not for this, we'd never see, Heaven's Home above.
9) If not for simple child like faith, to call on Jesus' Name;
To forgive us of our sins; of which, we're to blame.
Believe on Christ, who God did send, is what God requires.
If not for this, all destined for Eternal Lake Of Fire.
10) If not for repentance, faith, and heartfelt sinners prayer;
To show our face before The Lord, no one would even dare.
The Lord is of Purer Eyes; He can't look on sin.
If not for this, sins battle there, no one would ever win.
11) If not for the witnessing of the Gospel Truth;
To those who don't know The Lord, both elderly and youth.
To reject or accept Christ, everyone must choose.
If not for this, all would burn; Gentiles and The Jews.
12) If not for God's Precious Gift, I humbly did receive;
When I repented of my sins, and on Christ, believed.
I pray you, too...will do the same; and join me at His Throne.
If not for this, you're cast away, as one He's never known.
