20. The Cross of Calvary

1 On the cross of Calvary,
Jesus shed His blood for me;
Bore my guilt of sin away,
Paid the debt I ne'er could pay.

Chorus:
On the cross of Calvary,
There the blood was spilled for me;
Jesus now doth make me whole,
Praise the Lord for Calvary.

2 See the Christ uplifted high,
For our sins was doomed to die;
"It is done" we hear Him say,
And the darkness filled the day. [Chorus]

3 From the grave He did arise,
And ascend the vaulted skies;
Now for us He intercedes,
By His wounds and blood He pleads. [Chorus]

4 Blood divine did make me free,
Brought me peace and purity;
Of the cross I now will sing,
For it did salvation bring. [Chorus]
