That day long ago, if you were God,
And that was your Son on that stable sod,
Wrapped for death with its sin-cursed sting,
Would you have made the angels sing?
Would you have sent a lovely star
To guide the wise men from afar
While weaklings did what haters bid?
Our loving heavenly Father did.
On that Calvary road, if you were God,
And that was your Son ‘neath the scourging rod
Bearing pain and bitter loss
Would you have nailed Him to the Cross?
Would you have let Him suffer so
That sinners might salvation know
While this He did their sins to rid?
Our loving heavenly Father did.
