What If
What if I never met you and what if there wasn't ever this day?
What if God never found me, what if you didn't know what to say?
What if I'm crazy, what if I'm not?
What if you wait too long and then what if it's too hot?
What if you hadn't blown me off, what if you had listened to hear?
What if you never pay attention, what if we don't have another year?
What if you were guaranteed heaven, what if instead you go to hell?
What if you wanted to share God's joy, what if there wasn't anyone to tell?
What if God won't forgive me, what if every word is true?
What if I just stop trying, what if I can't give God you?
What if you had all the answers, what if it isn't what you want to hear?
What if it's all an illusion, but what if it's eternity with only fear?
What if just this once you listened, what if you really were destined to be great?
What if I hadn't listened, what if I had never found faith?
What if there are no more chances, what if I never told you so?
What if you're not ready to give your life to Him, what if that meant you couldn't go?
What if you just believed me, what if it were an easy thing to do?
What if it's all for nothing, but one more time, what if every word is true?
