What Could Have Been
by Jonathan Lee McElhenny

Album: The Band Table

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 this life
Would capture me
And throw away the prison key

Chorus 2
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

Turnaround
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

Chorus 1
For darkness
No source of light
Cages
I built through this life
Would capture me
And throw away the prison key

Chorus 2
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

Bridge
That's not what happened
That's not how the story ends
No no no

Chorus 3
Jesus
Broke through the dark
The Earth shook
The doors were unlocked
He stormed the gates of hell
And set this prisoner free

Chorus 4
My Savior
Ransomed my life
My Hero
He won the fight
Without Him I'd be left
Here in my sin

Post Chorus
Praise God that's not how the story ends
Cause that's what Jesus did

Outro
That's what Jesus did
That's what Jesus did
