1 My sins were as great as a mountain,
Tow’ring mountain,
They all disappeared in the fountain
Of Calvary.

Refrain:
The blood covers my sin.
It makes clean within
Through Jesus’ atonement
I’m saved every moment,
The blood covers my sin.

2 The sins of my life were so many,
Very many,
But praise God I now haven’t any
Through Calvary. [Refrain]

3 The guilt of my life was astounding,
So astounding,
Now love in my heart is abounding
From Calvary. [Refrain]

4 My life was so lonely and weary,
Very dreary,
God’s joy in my heart keeps me cheery
Through Calvary. [Refrain]
