BECAUSE OF CALVARY The street of the city was crowded Soon Jesus would be passing by The people who once sang His praises Were now crying out crucify The hammer and nails showed no mercy Yet in mercy He laid down His life It is finished, love won the battle On a dark and lonely hill side Because of Calvary a healing stream now flows Because of Calvary, the broken are made whole Because of Calvary, the shackled are set free New life is given, all because of Calvary The arms of the Father are open There is refuge in His warm embrace The orphans become sons and daughters The outcast have now found a place The wounded can rest in His mercy And His mercy is new every day Through redemption we have a future Hallelujah, God made a way
