The Glories of Calvary
Lord, you’re calling me to come
And behold the wondrous cross,
To explore the depths of grace
That came to me at such a cost;
Where your boundless love
Conquered my boundless sin
And mercy’s arms were opened wide!
Chorus:
My heart is filled with a thousand songs
Proclaiming the glories of Calvary!
With every breath, Lord, how I long
To sing of Jesus who died for me!
Lord, take me deeper
Into the glories of Calvary.
Sinners find eternal joy
In the triumph of Your wounds;
By our Savior’s crimson flow
Holy wrath has been removed.
And your saints below
Join with your saints above
Rejoicing in the Risen Lamb!
Chorus
Tag:
For all eternity we will sing, “Worthy!”
Our God has set us free
To sing the glories of Calvary.
Jesus, Thank You
The
mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend;
The agonies of Calvary!
You, the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son,
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me.
Chorus
Your blood has washed away my sin—
Jesus, thank You!
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied;
Jesus, thank You!
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You!
By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near;
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend,
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace;
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end.
Bridge
Lover of my soul,
I want to live for You!
The Everlasting Love of God
How vast the everlasting love of God
How sure and faithful as the morning
This love so great for us could never fail
Nor end, for it had no beginning
How strong the Father’s beating heart for us
What mercy runs to meet the sinner
As rivers yearn to reach the lowest place
His grace shall flow to me forever
Chorus:
Oh, the everlasting love of God
It shall ever be my song
So immense and free; more than life to me
The everlasting love of God
How great and precious my Redeemer’s blood
How pure the passion of the Savior
My sins are drowned beneath this mighty flood
My soul is swept away with wonder
Chorus:
Oh, the everlasting love of God
It shall ever be my song
So immense and free; more than life to me
The everlasting love of God
How deep the measure of the Spirit's work
Who dwells, who seals the promise
God's love through time and all eternity
Shall stand and we shall stand upon it
What now could separate us from it?
Chorus
Oh, the everlasting love of God
It shall ever be my song
So immense and free; more than life to me
The everlasting love of God
Oh, the everlasting love of God
It shall ever be my song
So immense and free; more than life to me
The everlasting love of God
The everlasting love of God
Almost Home
Don't drop a single anchor, we're almost home
Through every toil and danger, we're almost home
How many pilgrim saints have before us gone?
No stopping now, we're almost home
That promised land is callin', we're almost home
And not a tear shall fall then, we're almost home
Make ready now your souls for that Kingdom come
No turning back, we're almost home
Chorus:
Almost home, we're almost home
So press on toward that blessed shore
Oh, praise the Lord, wе're almost home
This journey ours togеther, we're almost home
Unto that great forever, we're almost home
What song anew we'll sing 'round that happy throne
Come faint of heart, we're almost home
Chorus:
Almost home, we're almost home
So press on toward that blessed shore
Oh, praise the Lord, we're almost home
