Lyrics

On the hill of Cal va ry,

the light of (A)all the (Bm)world,

with the world on His (G)shoul ders.

On The weight of all our shame

on Him who (A)knew no (Bm)sin;

a ho ly sur (G)ren der.

The sky went dark,

the an gels wept,

the Fa ther looked a (A)way.

But The fi nal breath,

He bowed His head,

the Lamb of God was slain.

And by His (D)wounds I am set free,

by His (D)blood I’ve been re deemed.

The great di (Bm7)vide He (A)crossed for me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

On the hill of Cal va ry,

in to the (A)Fa ther’s (Bm)hands,

a ho ly sur (G)ren der.

A bor rowed tomb,

His moth er wept,

and there His bod y (A)laid.

But the stone was moved,

He con quered death

and rose of from the grave.

And by His (D)wounds I am set free,

by His (D)blood I’ve been re deemed.

The great di (Bm7)vide He (A)crossed for me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

And if I (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of this place,

I will (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of Your grace.

The cross is (A)all,

all I need to (Bm)see.

(G)Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

And if I (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of this place,
