Betty S. Jordan - Harold Timmons
| (1) | When God looked down from Heaven, He saw
the fall of man, There had to be a sacrifice for fellowship again; Then He sent Jesus, to lead the people out, Still they didn’t trust and give the benefit of doubt. |
| (2) | The gift of God is given to all who will
receive, The blood shed on Calv’ry was shed for you and me; The gift of life is Jesus, that’s what it’s all about, You must trust and give Him, the benefit of doubt. |
| (Chorus) | The benefit of doubt they did not give
the Lord, But loudly cried "crucify," they were in one accord; His sentence was a rugged cross that took His life, To die for sin and strife; A purple robe of mockery before He paid the price, They followed up the rugged path, to see the sacrifice; Nailed to Calvary’s cross, the sentence carried out, They did not give the Lord the benefit of doubt. |
| (Tag) | Nailed to Calvary’s cross, the
sentence carried out, They did not give the Lord the benefit of doubt. |
