When I Think of Calvary

Representative Text

1 Since by faith I came to Christ and found Him precious,
Earthly things have lost the charm they held for me;
All the pleasures, wealth and fame the world can offer
Seem like nothing when I think of Calvary.

Refrain:
When I think of Calvary,
Of His death upon the tree,
All the pleasures, wealth and fame the world can offer
Seem like nothing when I think of Calvary.

2 O the price that there was paid for my redemption
When upon the cross my substitute was He!
All the gold and costly jewels men are seeking
Lose their value when I think of Calvary. [Refrain]

3 I have joy unspeakable and full of glory,
There are treasures over there laid up for me;
And a peace divine that passeth understanding
Fills my spirit when I think of Calvary. [Refrain]
