Verse 1 All around was the sound of angry men As Jesus bore His cross alone For all the world to see The time had come to pay the price That perfect sacrifice had to be slain For us to be free Chorus 1 He didn't run and hide He did not flee He went with them willingly To the cross at Calvary And though they mocked Him so and beat Him down He had the victory On the cross at Calvary Verse 2 Anchored to the cross with bloody nails The Son of God put on display A cursed man on a tree Pilate made a notice and it read Jesus of Nazareth The king of the Jews Chorus 2 He bore our sin and our iniquity He was setting the captives free On the cross at Calvary He never told a lie He did not sin Yet He took our place upon The cross at Calvary Bridge Tears of love filled His eyes as He looked Down on the crowd and saw His Children They couldn't see He had come to save their lives to meet Them at their need With a love That spans eternity Chorus 3 He asked the Lord above to forgive them To the Father He made this plea On the cross at Calvary He never bore a grudge He loves us all Unconditionally On the cross at Calvary Verse 4 The water and the blood flowed from His side The King of kings and Lord of lords Had died They didn't understand the things He said And so they mourned His loss they thought It was the end Chorus 4 To the Father He cried why have you Forsaken me On the cross at Calvary Father’s heart must have broken into two When He had to turn His face away From the cross at Calvary Verse 5 His linen clothes found lying on the ground With Jesus no where To be found Mary cried they have taken away my Lord And I don't know where they Have layed Him Chorus 5 Jesus said to the woman why do you cry so For whom are you looking for From the cross at Calvary And when she turned to see who it could be Rabbonni she cried for it was He From the cross at Calvary Verse 6 The veil was torn the Earth was rent God's prophecy fulfilled for His New Covenant The promise that had echoed through the years That a saviour would come is now a Reality Chorus 6 Jesus had risen from the dead In three days Just as He had said From the cross at Calvarry He did it once and once for all defeated death fullfilled the law On the cross at Calvary
