M Sipoze Bondye te chèche nan syèl
Li pa te jwenn pèson kite vle
Aksepte pou l fè yon sakrifis konsa
Pou l te bay vi l pou te sove mwen ak ou.

Kè
O! Si se pat pou yon plas
Yo rele mòn kalvè
E Si se pa te sou bwa lakwa
Si se pat pou nonm sa yo rele Jezi a
Wi pou toujou mwen menm ak ou ta pèdi.

M si kontan li te aksepte bwè koup anmè
Malgre priyè pou te fè l pase lwen l
M si kontan li pa t rele zanj nan syèl yo
Pou vin wete klou k t ap toumante men l yo.

I suppose God searched in heaven,
He did not find anyone who was willing
To accept making such a sacrifice,
To give his life to save you and me.

Chorus
Oh! If it were not for a place
Called Mount Calvary,
And if it were not on the wooden cross,
If it were not for the man called Jesus,
Yes, forever you and I would be lost.

2
I am so glad he accepted to drink the bitter cup,
Even though he prayed for it to pass away from him.
I am so glad he did not call the angels in heaven
To come remove the nails that were tormenting his hands.
