I
ON A SAD AND LONELY DAY THEY TOOK MY BLESSED LORD AWAY
TO A CROSS THAT WOULD END HIS EARTHLY LIFE.
WITH THORNS IN HIS SWEET HEAD HE LOOKED DOWN AT THEM AND SAID
FORGIVE THEM GOD FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
II
AS HE HUNG ON THAT CROSS MY GAIN BECAME HIS LOSS
BUT BECAUSE OF HIS DEATH I WAS BORN.
IT WAS A DEAR FATHER'S PLAN THAT HIS DEATH MAKE AMENDS
BUT HE AROSE AND HE IS THE ONE TRUE GOD.
CHORUS
CALVARY WAS THE PRICE THAT COST HIM HIS LIFE
AS HE HUNG ON THE CROSS IN AGONY.
AND WHEN HE LOOKED INTO HEAVEN AND CRIED IT'S FINISHED
IT BEGAN A NEW LIFE FOR ME.
