Calvary

Since the world began there has been God

Many things and thoughts have changed

About the dying of our Lord

Oh, the pain that He went through for you and me

On a hill called Calvary

On Calvary my Jesus died

He died for you and for me

He died to save a wretch undone like me

Oh like me

On Calvary Jesus died

He died for you and for me

He died to save a wretch undone like me

Oh, like me

Each time I sin

I know I've crucified my Lord again

No, I've crucified Him again

If I'm lost, I have only myself to blame

Only myself to blame

It was Calvary where they crucified my Lord

Yes, it was Calvary where He purchased my salvation

It was Calvary, Calvary where my Jesus died just for me

It was Calvary where they crucified my Lord

Yes, it was Calvary where He purchased my salvation

It was Calvary, Calvary where my Jesus died

He laid there never said a word

It was Calvary where He saved a wretch undone just like me

He didn't have to do it but He did

It was Calvary where He hung, bled and died just for me

For me, for me, for me, yes, He did it for me

I was sinking deep in sin far from a peaceful shore

Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more

But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry

From the waters He lifted me now safe am I

Oh, when He died He did it for me

When He laid his life down He did it for me

For me, I thank you, Lord, You did it for me
