Here it is, sallysue: There Was No Other Way by John W. Peterson
It is in Vol.2 of "Beyond the Blue" which is a Singspiration song book. My copy was published in 1969, so it may be hard to find. If you will tell me how to send you the music, I'll be glad to do it. It's written in the Key of C, so if you know the tune, it should be easy to play.
1.
Before the stars were hung or planets fashioned,
Before the clay was formed to make a man,
Christ was the Lamb of God for sinners offered --
This was redemption's one and only plan.
2.
The wealth of all the world could not redeem us,
Nor could our feeble works -- so great the price!
Our only hope is in the blood of Jesus --
The blood He shed for us in sacrifice.
3.
So, friend, if you would find the way to heaven,
If fromthe guilt of sin you would be free,
Accept the only way by God provided --
The great redeeming work at Calvary.
4.
O I must tell the news where'er He leads me,
Proclaim the gospel sound both far and near;
The way, the truth, the life is found in Jesus --
This is the message all the world must hear.
Chorus:
There was no other way a God of love could find
To reconcile the world and save a lost mankind;
It took the death of His own Son upon tree --
There was no other way but calvary.
