God of Calvary
God of Calvary
Song based on the Bible verse:
Isaiah 53:4-5
4
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1
On the hill of Calvary the light of all the world
With the world on His shoulders
The weight of all our shame
On Him who knew no sin
A holy surrender
The sky went dark the angels wept
The Father looked away
The final breath He bowed His head
The Lamb of God was slain
By His wounds I am set free
By His blood I’ve been redeemed
The great divide He crossed for me
Oh praise the God of Calvary
2
On the hill of Calvary into the Father’s hands
A holy surrender a borrowed tomb His mother wept
And there His body lay but the stone was moved
He conquered death and rose up from the grave
By His wounds I am set free
By His blood I’ve been redeemed
The great divide He crossed for me
Oh praise the God of Calvary
And if I never never lose sight of this place
I will never never lose sight of Your grace
Your cross is all all I need to see
Oh praise the God of Calvary
And if I never never lose sight of this place
I will never never lose sight of Your grace
Your cross is all all I need to see
Oh praise the God of Calvary
By Your wounds I am set free
By Your blood I’ve been redeemed
The great divide You crossed for me
Oh praise the God of Calvary
Your cross is all all I need to see
Oh praise the God of Calvary
