It Should Have Been Us

Poem about God's Love

It should have been you
It should have been me
It should have been us
Hanging on that tree
The price that was paid
The blood that was shed
The pain that was felt
From the thorns on His head
The nails in His feet
And the nails in His hands
The sword in His side
Pain we'd never withstand
We committed sin
We lived in strife
But he payed the price
Gave us eternal life
It should have been you
It should have been me
It should have been us
Hanging on that tree
It would have been us
For death is sin's price
But for a loving God
We don't have to die twice
