If You Knew

You may wonder why I sing his praise

Every chance that I get

You may wonder why I raise my hands

Or why I shout amen

You may wonder why tears fill my eyes

When I hear the old rugged cross

You may wonder why I live for him

Why I serve him at any cost

But if you knew what my life was like

Before Jesus came and made things right

And saved me from the mess that I was in

And if you only knew where I would be

Had it not been for Calvary

Then my friend you would understand

Looking back on how far I've come

And how much he has blessed

All the joys that he has given me

Despite my sinful past

No greater friend have I ever known

Than this one who walks by my side

And oh what a difference

Since he came into my life

But if you knew what my life was like

Before Jesus came and made things right

And saved me from the mess that I was in

And if you only knew where I would be

Had it not been for Calvary

Then my friend you would understand

And if you only knew where I would be

Had it not been for Calvary

Then my friend you would understand
