I
ON A HILL CALLED CALVARY JESUS MY LORD SUFFERED FOR ME
HE CARRIED THE CROSS ALL THE WAY MY SINS TO ATONE.
THEN THEY NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS
GREAT WAS THE PAIN AND THE LOSS
HE SUFFERED IT ALL BECAUSE HE LOVED ME.
CHORUS
BECAUSE HE LOVED ME MY SAVIOR DIED ON THE CROSS WAS CRUCIFIED
NO GREATER LOVE BY MORTAL MAN HAS EVER BEEN KNOWN
OH PRAISE HIS DEAR NAME HE LOVES ME SO
NOW I AM HIS HE'S MINE I KNOW
HE SUFFERED IT ALL BECAUSE HE LOVED ME.
II
THEN THEY CARRIED HIM AWAY PLACED HIM IN A LONELY GRAVE
SURELY THEY THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE THE END OF THIS MAN
BUT ON THE THIRD AND GLORIOUS DAY
GOD CAME AND ROLLED THE STONE AWAY
HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD BECAUSE HE LOVED ME
