There’s an empty tomb in Jerusalem today, that plainly to us testifies
He who lived there, no longer is dead, but living and reining on high,
Just as sure as he came before me; who suffered and died for my sin
That’s just how sure what I feel in my soul,
Makes me know he’s coming again.
Chorus:
Sing me a song about Calvary,
Show me his suffering and loss
Tell it- till each part- of my soul shall cry
Thank God for the old rugged cross.

They say that each mountain and high lofty place,
Must be brought down at God’s will
But in my heart a picture still stands a vision of Golgotha’s hill,
That’s where Jesus, my Savior and Lord, gladly the sacrifice paid
So when I repented and come to the cross
I found sin’s debt was already paid
Chorus:
Sing me a song about Calvary,
Show me his suffering and loss
Tell it- till each part- of my soul shall cry
Thank God for the old rugged cross.
