What Could Have Been
Jonathan Lee McElhenny / The B ...
What Could Have Been - Digital Single
Lyrics
Verse 1
When I think about what God has done for me
When I step back and really start to think
I start trembling; Oh I can't believe
Verse 2
Amazing grace would save a wretch like me
I’m nothing that’s of value to a king
Oh I can’t believe that He’d die for me
Pre-Chorus 1
Yeah I’m so glad He saved my soul
Cause if he didn’t all I’d know is
Chorus 1
Darkness no source of light
Cages I built through my life
Would capture me and throw away the prison key
Chaos would wrestle my mind
Helpless I’d give up the fight
Without Him I’d be left here in my sin
Yeah that’s what could have been
That's what could have been
Verse 3
And if Jesus never stepped down from His throne
Then I’d be left for dead lost and alone
I’d be drenched in shame I’d be so afraid
Pre-Chorus 2
Cause if there’s no blood if there’s no cross
Then I’d be forced to pay the cost for
Bridge
That’s not what happened!
That’s not how the story ends!
No no no!
Chorus 2
Jesus broke through the dark
The earth shook
The doors were unlocked
He stormed the gates of hell
And set this prisoner free
My Savior ransomed my life
My Hero He won the fight
Without Him I’d be left here in my sin
Praise God that's not how the story ends
Cause that’s what Jesus did!

Oh Oh That’s what Jesus did!
Oh Oh That’s what Jesus did!
Oh Oh That’s what Jesus did!
Oh Oh That’s what Jesus did!
