If Jesus Had Not Died Poem by Royston Allen

If Christ had not died then I would be lost
and I would have to pay sins awful cost.
When called to stand before the judgement throne;
naked and exposed and all on my own.

'The wages of sin is death, ' God would say
to the multitudes standing there that day.
No sacrificial lamb to intercede
and no one to arbitrate or to plead.

There the full penalty for sin applied
because Jesus walked away and not died;
and He would stand alone at heaven's door
whilst Hell was bursting and could hold no more.

But the Mighty God found another way
the awful penalty of sin to pay.
For He sent His Only Belovèd Son
to redeem back a world by sin undone.
