[Verse 1]
If there hadn't been a darkness
I would've never seen the light
I wouldn't long for the sunrise
If it wasn't for the night

[Verse 2]
If there hadn't been a Father
Who made a way when there was none
I'd still be an orphan
If it wasn't for His Son

[Chorus]
If there hadn't been a grave
If there hadn't been a cross
My heart would still be buried
And my soul would still be lost
If there hadn't been a Savior
Who died to make a way
I'd still be a dead man
If there hadn't been a grave

[Verse 3]
If it wasn't for the breaking
I would never know the mend
I wouldn't know the sweetness of freedom
If it wasn't for my sin
And if there hadn't been forgiveness
That covered all my shame
Oh, I'd still be a debtor
If He didn't take my place
