"I Stood At
Calvary"
I dreamt I stood
at Calvary
And saw three
crosses there;
On left and
right were nailed two thieves,
The cross
between was bare.
A soldier took
his sword in hand,
Then pointed it
at me:
He said "You
there, prepare to die.
That cross is
meant for thee."
I quickly fell
upon my knees,
For mercy did I
cry;
As strong hands
grabbed my hands and feet,
I shouted "Why,
oh why?"
And then a voice
both soft and sweet
Was heard above
the din;
"Let this one
go, take me instead.
I'll pay his
price for sin."
With his body
torn and bleeding
And thorn marks
round his head;
With bruises
where they beat him,
He stepped into
my stead.
Then Jesus laid
upon the cross,
His life did
freely give,
That all my
sins be washed away
And through his
death, I'd live.
He stretched his
arms out open wide,
No struggle did
he make.
As they
prepared to nail him there
His life they
meant to take.
They drove the
spikes in hands and feet,
And slammed the
cross in place.
His bones were
shaken out of joint,
And blood ran
down his face.
"Forgive them,
Father," was his cry,
They know not
what they do
God must have
wept when he realized
He sacrificed
his only Son for you.
When I awoke,
the night had passed
And Sunshine
flooded in;
I cried "Dear
Lord, forgive me please,
And cleanse me
of my sin.
For you sent down
your only son,
A ransom for
the lost:
And I see you
included me,
When counting
out the cost.
Yes I dreamt I
stood at Calvary
And saw those
crosses three;
Yet no longer
do I need to fear
Knowing Jesus
died for me.
