D A G A
I close my eyes and think about Calvary
D A G A
I see it happening right in front of me
D A
The back that bore the whip
G A
The head that held the crown of thorns
G
What if I was there
Em D G
Would I even care, would I even care
A
Or would I only stare
What if I was there, just a face in the croud
Would I hide in shame or would I laugh out loud
Would I pity Him or think that He is just a fool
Another criminal
Or just the truth, just the truth
He is Heaven's jewel
D A
As He marched up that hill
Bm A G
I can picture Him still in my mind

All the blood and the sweat on His brow

As He passed me on by, I could see in His eyes

That His pain was a gift of His love

He was the sacrifice - the Lamb
A D
And He is the great I AM

And He paid the price for me
A G
The price for you and me

You and me
Bm A Bm
He made the deaf to hear again
D A
He called the sinful man a friend
Bm A Bm
He walked that hill for me
A G
So my blind soul could see
As He marched up that hillI can picture Him still
in my mind
All the blood and the sweat on His brow
As He passed me on by, I could see in His eyes
That His pain was a gift of His love
E B A B
I close my eyes and think about Calvary

Two criminals were there

With one on either side of Him

One hurled insults - and one believed
A
And one believed
B
Which one am I
