Grow With Pastor Joe

There upon Mount Calvary on a rugged tree

Hung the spotless Lamb of God dying there for me

As I gazed upon Him and heard His cries of pain

I knew that I was guilty and hung my head in shame

With thoughts of my transgressions I let out a mournful sigh

But then I heard the Lamb of God ring out a dying cry

“It is finished! Paid in full!” the Lamb’s work now is done

The battle is now over because the Lamb has overcome

With one last hopeful look, I stared into His face

But no longer did I see my sin, I only saw His grace

They placed His broken body down into a grave

But then He resurrected on that third and glorious day

He broke the chains of sin and death to set the captives free

Christ died and rose for sinners, including sinful me

Now ascended into Heaven on His throne on high

He ever intercedes for me and bids me to draw nigh

Soon He’ll call His Bride to join Him in glory up above

And we shall live forever there in the light of holy love

By faith I look to Calvary to see the blood-stained tree

And now, both wonder and rejoice in all He did for me
