The Time Is Short

IT WOULD BE ME
Ryan Itzel

It would be me who would cry crucify the spotless lamb
It would be me who would scornfully reject the Son of man
If it weren’t for his grace effective 
His power sovereignly displayed in the life I live
I would desperately hate his goodness
It would be me if it weren’t for him

It would be me who would prize earthly gain above thee
It would be me who would pridefully pursue all vanity
But he opened my eyes so that I may see 
The riches of his glory and his majesty
I’d be willfully blind in depravity
It would be me if it weren’t for him.

Chorus
The debt was paid 
Jesus Christ removed the guilt of sin and shame
God’s love displayed 
In the wrath Jesus satisfied that day
I’d be dead in sin, never knowing Him
It would be me if it weren’t for him. 

It would be me who would chase all my sin into the grave
With no concern of the wrath to be dealt to me that day
But my eternal debt he satisfied 
I  am raised to life together glorified
I would have never known his grace applied
It would be me if it weren’t for him

Chorus
The debt was paid 
Jesus Christ removed the guilt of sin and shame
God’s love displayed 
In the wrath Jesus satisfied that day 
I’d be dead in sin, never knowing Him (First x back to top of chorus)
I would have never known, His grace fully shown
It would be me if it weren’t for Him
