Revival Hymns and Choruses ‎#114

114. At Calvary

1 Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.

Chorus:
Mercy there was great, and grace was free,
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
There my burdened soul found liberty -
At Calvary.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King;
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary. [Chorus]

4 O the love that drew salvation's plan!
O the grace that bro't it down to man!
O the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary! [Chorus]
