Contemporary Christian Worship song with a Southern Gospel Vent
On Calvary! Words and music by Miranda Cude-Grindstaff © 2014
Have you ever imagined you were there that fateful day
When a solemn man from Nazareth slowly made his way
To Calvary's Hill, bearing a cross
Sent by God to be the one to shepherd the lost?
Hated, mocked, and beaten
Sentenced to his death
To die without a pardon,
and take his final breath.
How would you feel?
What would you do?
What would you say?
Save him! Crucify him! Or would you simply walk away?
Chorus
On Calvary!
Where Jesus gave his life
On Calvary!
He was crucified
Then on the third day he was risen
And my sins were washed away
Oh! How my life began that day!
On Calvary!
Would you have been like His disciples
Or Mary by his side?
Would you have been close enough to hear him when he cried?
"Father, please forgive them they know not what they do!"
Felt the earth began shake and the know the veil was torn in two!
Chorus
On Calvary!
Where Jesus gave his life
On Calvary!
He was crucified
Then on the third day he was risen
And my sins were washed away
Oh! How my life began that day!
On Calvary!
On Calvary!
