Calvary and Amazing Grace An ordinary cross An extraordinary man A simple execution of a brilliant master plan That would purchase the redemption of the souls of all mankind And the ransomed's song will echo through all time Amazing grace brought hope forever All sin erased remembered never I live again because He took my place The debt of sin I owe was more than I could ever pay Though I would try a lifetime there was just no earthly way But the precious lamb of glory came and said He'd take my place And in blood He signed my pardon saved by grace Amazing grace brought hope forever All sin erased remembered never I live again because He took my place I live again because He took my place
