Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.

On Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;

By God's Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
By God's Word at last my sin I learned;

To Calvary.

Now I've giv'n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

Oh, the love that drew salvation's plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!

Just writing in my journal this morning and wrote something about his mercy and grace. Immediately I flashed back to “mercy there was great and Grace was free pardon there was multiplied to me…” the words of the first stanza and much of the other stanzas came rushing back to me after decades (I am in my 60s now) of not singing it. I see the value in all forms of Christian music and have been touched by all genres, but this flashback to my childhood with the exact memory of the lyrics was incredible. I also realized how easy it is to sing, even hymns, without thinking about what the actual words mean, but just focusing on singing the parts (if you are musically inclined), or possibly just the melody line if you’re not. It wasn’t until my 20s That at one moment, I fullyrealized the importance of the lyrics! It happened when I looked back at another old hymn called “Am I a soldier of the cross? “

All I know is when God is, God does! A childhood hymn that has made the difference today.

At Calvary! Wow! 😭😭
Isn't it amazing and altogether perplexing how the Holy Spirit keeps pulling us to the Cross, even in our worst state?! Dirty, yet loved! Fallen, yet desired! I went to bed with a heavy, remorseful heart. I'd fallen again. I felt a vast distance from God. Self guilt and condemnation have taken a firm grip of my soul. Lying there on the bed, I prayed all night. Mercy was all my plea. Mercy over judgment.
Before dawn, the Holy Spirit put this old hymn in my heart. I kept singing it repeatedly until I woke up and got here to sing through the stanza with tears streaming down my eyes. At Calvary!
Mercy there was great and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary!
And the last stanza says everything that redemption entails:
Oh, the love that drew salvation's plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
Discharged and acquitted!
Because of Calvary!
Thank You Jesus Christ for Salvation!
