Calvary's Hill

Once there was a place of shame

And the very mention of that name

Brought fear and despair to the soul

People came from everywhere

To see condemned ones hanging there

The ground turned to crimson red

As death would unfold

Then one day upon that lonely hill

Stood a cross holding love fulfilled

But the mob didn't sense a special thing

And though the sky had turned to grey

This was Calvary's crowning day

The shame was taken all away

For the cross held the King

Calvary, Calvary

Oh, what love was shown to me

Jesus died, crucified

On a hill called Calvary

Kings lay down their crowns there

When they see the crown He wears

And the blood flowing down His Holy face

Such love again I'll never see

That God would give His Son for me

But love held my Jesus to that tree

By those precious nails upraised

Calvary, Calvary

Oh, what love was shown to me

Jesus died, crucified

On a hill called Calvary

The King gave His life there

But I know I should have died there

On a hill called Calvary
