_-'-At Calvary-'-_

At Calvary

Years I spent in vanity and pride, caring not my Lord was crucified,
knowing not it was for me he died on Calvary.


Refrain
Mercy there was great, and grave was free; pardon there was multiplied to me;
there my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.


By God's Word at last my sin I learned, then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.


Refrain
Mercy there was great, and grave was free; pardon there was multiplied to me;
there my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.


Now I've given to Jesus everything; now I gladly own him as my King;
now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.


Refrain
Mercy there was great, and grave was free; pardon there was multiplied to me;
there my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.
