On the hill of Calvary
The Light of all the world
With the world on His shoulders
The weight of all our shame
On Him who knew no sin
A Holy surrender
The sky went dark
The Angels wept
The Father looked away
The final breath
He bowed His head
The lamb of God was slain
By His wounds I am set free
By His blood I've been redeemed
The great divide He crossed for me
Oh, praise the God of Calvary
On the hill of Calvary
Into the Father's hands
A Holy surrender
A borrowed tomb
His mother wept
And there His body lay
The stone was moved
He conquered death
And rose from the grave
By His wounds I am set free
By His blood I've been redeemed
The great divide He crossed for me
Oh, praise the God of Calvary
And if I never
Never lose sight of this place
I will never
Never lose sight of Your grace
The Cross is all
All I need to see
Oh, praise the God of Calvary
[x2]
By Your wounds I am set free
By Your blood I've been redeemed
The great divide You crossed for me
Oh, praise the God of Calvary
Your Cross is all
All I need to see
Oh, praise the God of Calvary
