I went to Calvary that day

  and saw them kill…My Lord

  I knew I should have done something

  but afraid…I pretended accord

I didn’t understand then…why I went

that gruesome scene I did not want to see

I averted my eyes but the hammers still …I heard

as they nailed Him …to that tree

  I recalled the times when I followed Him

  and I believed…He was who He said

  it felt like He was talking only to me

  and I even partook…of the fish and bread

Standing there, I was riddled with guilt, tears fell

and I knew I’d never be the same

I was deserting Him when He needed a friend...

Oh, the shame!

   I wanted to hide in a hole somewhere

   to forget what I knew was true

   but as I started to leave, I heard Him say,

   ‘forgive them Father, they know not what they do’

I turned and His eyes, full of love, gazed straight at me

suddenly, it didn’t matter …what anyone thought

I fell to the ground…begged for forgiveness

and there…began to walk in the truth He taught

  There’s no question in my mind

  that it was…Messiah… they did slay

  and I saw them lay Him in a tomb...but

  Three days later it was empty…the stone rolled away!

I know He defeated Calvary just like He said He would

that’s why I spread the Good News abroad

He’s not dead…He’s Alive…He’s Risen!

He’s God’s Son, Jesus…My Lord!

  Now, I never fail to correct and defend His Name

  He’s Redeemer who, for us, with His Blood did pay

  hence, forever I am grateful that God directed me…and

  I went to Calvary...that day
