At Calvary| Lyrics
1 Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.
Refrain:
Mercy there was great and grace was free,
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
There my burdened soul found liberty–
At Calvary.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus ev’rything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary. [Refrain]
4 O the love that drew salvation’s plan!
O the grace that brought it down to man!
O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary. [Refrain]
Notes
“At Calvary” is a heartfelt reflection on the transformation that occurs when one truly understands the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice. The hymn begins with a confession of ignorance and pride, revealing how the singer once lived without regard for the crucifixion. But through God’s Word and the realization of personal sin, the soul is drawn to repentance. Calvary becomes the place where mercy, grace, and pardon flow freely, lifting the burden of guilt. The song rejoices in surrender, kingship of Christ, and the overwhelming love that planned salvation. For deeper reflection, read “The Cross of Christ” by John Stott.
