We Could Have; But We Didn't (Jan 1, 2009)

I could have spent Christmas without tears.
I could have spent the New Year full of joy.
I could have went to bed each night content.
I could have, but I didn't.

I could have just gone home that night.
I could have hid my feelings like normal.
I could have continued to be happy.
I could have, but I didn't.

He could have left the blind men blind.
He could have left the sick, sick.
He could have condemned us from the start.
He could have, but He didn't.

He could have called angels from Heaven.
He could have saved himself that night.
He could have conquered an empire.
He could have, but He didn't.

He could have decided not to become human.
I could have gone at a safer pace.
I could have held back the way I felt.
He could have never given His grace.

I could have done things differently.
He could have left our sins, but not He.
He could have said no to the cross.
I could have listened to those around me.

We could have, but We didn't.
