Calvary’s Hill Songtext
von Brian Free & Assurance
Calvary’s Hill Songtext
Once there was a place of shame
And the very mention of that name
Brought fear and despair
To the soul
People came from everywhere
To see condemned ones hanged there
The ground turned to crimson red
As death would unfold
Then one day upon a lonely hill
Stood a Cross holding love fulfilled
But the mom didn′t sense a special thing
And though the sky had turned to grey
This was Calvary's crowning day
The shame was taken
All away
For the Cross held the King
Calvary, Calvary
Oh, what love was shown to me!
Jesus Christ crucified
On a hill called Calvary
Kings lay down their crowns there
When they see the crown He wears
And the blood flowing down
His holy face
Such love again I′ll never see
That God would give His Son for me
But love held Jesus to that tree
By those precious nails of grace
Calvary, Calvary
Oh, what love was shown to me!
Jesus Christ, crucified
On a hill called Calvary
The king gave His life there
But I know
I should've died there
On a hill called Calvary
And the very mention of that name
Brought fear and despair
To the soul
People came from everywhere
To see condemned ones hanged there
The ground turned to crimson red
As death would unfold
Then one day upon a lonely hill
Stood a Cross holding love fulfilled
But the mom didn′t sense a special thing
And though the sky had turned to grey
This was Calvary's crowning day
The shame was taken
All away
For the Cross held the King
Calvary, Calvary
Oh, what love was shown to me!
Jesus Christ crucified
On a hill called Calvary
Kings lay down their crowns there
When they see the crown He wears
And the blood flowing down
His holy face
Such love again I′ll never see
That God would give His Son for me
But love held Jesus to that tree
By those precious nails of grace
Calvary, Calvary
Oh, what love was shown to me!
Jesus Christ, crucified
On a hill called Calvary
The king gave His life there
But I know
I should've died there
On a hill called Calvary
