By Ken Blue
If I got what I deserve, I’d be in hell today.
When speaking to God, He would then turn away.
Even the Devil, wouldn’t give me time of day.
If I got what I deserve.
If I got what I deserve, she’d left long ago.
I would have lost every friend; everyone I know.
And like Cain, I’d be banished, with no place to go.
If I got what I deserve.
If I got what I deserve, there’d be no hope for me.
When I would do good, selfish motives I always see.
I vow I’ll do better, but lost I would always be.
If I got what I deserve.
I have no other argument; I have no other plea.
It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me.
He took all that I deserve; my substitute was He.
I’m better than I deserve, by grace sufficiency.
