On Calvary

As I look to the hills and see the mountains before me
Asking myself, if I’ll ever make it to the top or will I remain looking up in awe
As I think about the hill on which we now call Calvary, I am filled with many emotions
Trying to remember the gift that was given, but the one that cost my Savior’s life

It’s hard to understand and impossible to comprehend
A loving Savior, that was willing to give His life to save mine
I offered Him a mess, and He offered me His life and it came with no strings attached
I tried to runaway because I was ashamed, but His loving arms have been open all along

A sin so black, that it cost Him all He had
A life so fallen, that it would take a perfect sacrifice to save it
A life so precious, that my Jesus said that I was worth it
A glory so rich, He was willing to give it all up so we could be together for eternity

On Calvary’s tree in between two criminals, hung my Savior who took my place
On Calvary’s tree on a stormy night, death was defeated and I was forgiven
Far above the city, far away from everything, Jesus went to pray at the garden
I know it wasn’t easy but His love for me was evident by His death for my sins
