Behold the precious blood of Jesus, spilled for you and me
Look at the valuable blood of Jesus that was poured out as a sacrifice for us.


The crimson stream that washes white as snow for all eternity
The red stream of his blood has the power to cleanse us completely and make us spotless for all time.


Calvary, Calvary, where Jesus took the blame for me
Calvary was the site where Jesus took responsibility for all our transgressions.


Calvary, Calvary, where love and mercy did a mystery
Calvary was the place where the mysterious nature of God's love and mercy was revealed to mankind.


Father, please forgive them for they know not what they've done
Oh God, pardon them for their actions, because they are unaware of what they have done.


The Savior cried with agony, the battle had been won
The Lord cried out in distress because his sacrifice had been successful.


Calvary, Calvary, where Jesus took the blame for me
Calvary was the site where Jesus took responsibility for all our transgressions.


Calvary, Calvary, where love and mercy did a mystery
Calvary was the place where the mysterious nature of God's love and mercy was revealed to mankind.


The sinless man was crucified, the veil was torn in two
The guiltless man was crucified, and the curtain that separated man from God was ripped in half.


The sacrifice had been accepted, a new covenant renewed
The offering had been gratified, and a new arrangement with God was put in place.


Calvary, Calvary, where Jesus took the blame for me
Calvary was the site where Jesus took responsibility for all our transgressions.


Calvary, Calvary, where love and mercy did a mystery
Calvary was the place where the mysterious nature of God's love and mercy was revealed to mankind.
