Verse 1:
Betrayed and bruised He climbed, the hill of Calvary,
To pay the debt I could not pay,
On lifted arms He wore the weight of all my sin
He held to justice as He held to burning grace
Chorus:
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The cost of His forgiveness, lifted high for all to see,
The glory of the cross of Calvary
Verse 2:
The more I see the lengths, He took to take my fall,
The more and more it changes me
His blazing love becomes, His banner over me,
Oh the everlasting joy, the ever flowing stream
Chorus: IV I V vi (x2) IV I vi V, IV V I
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The cost of His forgiveness, lifted high for all to see,
The glory of the cross of Calvary
Bridge: IV I vi V
He chose the rugged nails, to buy my liberty
And through the agony, He cried “Father, forgive them”
His love alive in me, His lovingkindness washes over me, over me
He conquered sin and grave, He rose to life again
From Him and to Him are all things, Jesus forever reigns,
His love alive in me, His lovingkindness crashes over me, over me
Chorus:
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The glory of the cross of Calvary
The cost of His forgiveness, lifted high for all to see,
The glory of the cross of Calvary
