Verse 1 I’ve heard folks say, “If God is love, Why’s there fire on the other side?” But they never talk about the nails, Or the tears in the Savior’s eyes. They point at judgment like it’s harsh, But they miss the mercy in the plot — Hell ain’t proof that God is cruel… The Cross is proof He’s not. Chorus If He wanted to condemn me, He’d have left me where I was. But He carried every sin I’ve done And paid it with His blood. Love held Him on that hillside, Not the soldiers or the knots — Hell isn’t proof that God is cruel… The Cross is proof He’s not. Verse 2 If justice had the final say, I’d be buried in my shame. But grace stepped in and took my place, And Jesus wore my blame. He opened up a narrow road Where every sinner gets a shot — Hell ain’t proof that God is cruel… The Cross is proof He’s not. Chorus If He wanted to condemn me, He’d have left me where I was. But He carried every sin I’ve done And paid it with His blood. Love held Him on that hillside, Not the soldiers or the knots — Hell isn’t proof that God is cruel… The Cross is proof He’s not. Bridge Mercy didn’t have to bleed, But it chose to. Heaven didn’t have to open, But it broke through. If you’re lookin’ for God’s heart, Don’t stare at the flames — Look at the Lamb Who took your place. Final Chorus If He wanted to condemn me, He’d have left me where I was. But He carried every sin I’ve done And paid it with His blood. Love held Him on that hillside, Not the soldiers or the knots — Hell isn’t proof that God is cruel… The Cross is proof He’s not. Outro Yeah, the Cross is proof He’s not.
