The Cross of Calvary

The Cross of Calvary

When I look upon Calvary’s tree,
To see my Savior die for me
I scarce can keep my tears at bay
As God’s Grace washes my sins away

Christ came to earth from Heaven’s throne
And died that death all alone
To free us all from the curse of sin
And renew our spirit deep within

“Father Forgive them”  was his cry
As he hung on that cross in my place to die
And then with a whisper as loud as thunder
He said “It is Finished”… as I watched in wonder

Finished was the payment for my sin
I scarce had breath to take it in
Forgiven and Paid and Forever Free
God’s mercy displayed for all to see

Then conquering the death that paid for sin
The chords of death could not keep him in
Raising up from the pit of strife
My Savior arose and gave us life !

Now he’s gone back to heaven
To prepare us a place
Where we can be with him
And bask in his Grace.

Remembering Why He Came….
Happy Easter Week
