I remember my dad singing this song when I was a child and it has always been precious to me. Now I am battling depression and anxiety and this song gives me hope.
Wow I love❤😘 it's 🥰🥰🥰
Abuja, FCT, Nigeria
Oh lead me to Calvary to see my savior.
United States
Amen... Praised the Lord
Auckland, New Zealand
It’s my only prayer, Lest I forget .... lead me to Calvary. Every word is so meaningful, it always draws my heart closer to the Lord.
Cerritos, CA, United States
So touching to the soul and simply beautiful, Thanks for what our Lord and saviour endured and suffered on the cross!
Altanta, Georgia, United States
This was one of the first hymns that I was taught as a child. It remains so precious to me to now that Christ died for our sins that we may live. It still humbles me when I sing it.
Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom
Great words. I have sung them since a child. This morning in Lockdown here in the UK. Very precious. Been thinking this morning of the fact that even in the terrors of the cross the centurion could see my Lord was both innocent and the the Son of God and worshipped Him. In these dark days it’s wonderful to worship him. He defeated death and worthy of all praise. Hallelujah what a Saviour.
Grand Bahama, Bahamas
I learned this song when I was a young girl. I was touched by the words and it has become one of my favorite hymns. It brings tears to my eyes when I sing it. I'm thankful to God for the Gift of His Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the finished work on Calvary.
Somerset, Kentucky, United States
The shed blood of Jesus at Calvary is the most precious gift of God. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
My sin and guilt covered by His most precious blood; lest I forget His love for me, lead me to calvary.
