I
IN VISIONS I SAW ... A PLACE THAT'S CALLED CALVARY ...
AND JESUS MY LORD ... THERE BLEEDING FOR ME ...
BY FAITH I COULD SEE ... THAT GREAT OPEN FOUNTAIN ...
WHERE SINNERS ARE WASHED ... AND EVER MADE FREE ...
II
I LOOKED FOR HIS FRIENDS ... BUT THEY HAD ALL LEFT HIM ...
AND ONE OF HIS OWN ... HAD PROVEN UNTRUE ...
I SAW ALL MY SINS ... MAKE GREATER HIS SORROW ...
BUT NEVER THE LESS ... SALVATION CAME THROUGH ...
CHORUS
I SAW THEM TAKE CHRIST ... AND ROBE HIM IN SCARLET ...
IT SEEMS I COULD SEE ... THE CROWN THAT HE WORE ...
WHEN READING ABOUT ... HIS SIDE THAT WAS RIVEN ...
I COULD ALMOST FEEL ... THE PAIN THAT HE BORE ...
