Our choir sang Calvary's Love for our anthem yesterday. There is really nothing more I can say. Sins atoned and heaven gained. (if you would like to listen the song as sung by another choir click here- be aware that the video contains scenes from the movie The Passion of Christ, and these are not easy to watch, but that is Calvary's love--what Christ suffered for our sakes.)
Calvary's Love
Lyrics and Composer: Greg Nelson and Phil McHugh
Bright and shining, strong and free
Like an ark of peace and safety
On the sea of human need.
Through the hours of all the ages
Those tired of sailing on their own
Finally rest inside the shadow
Cast by Calvary' s love
across their souls
Calvary's Love, Calvary 's
love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worthy of;
The deepest sin can't rise above
Life has crushed and cast aside
And redeem till heaven's promise
Fills with joy once empty eyes
Then desire to tell the story
Of love that loved enough to die
Burns away all other passions
And fed by Calvary 's love,
becomes a fire.
Calvary's Love, Calvary 's
love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worthy of;
The deepest sin can't rise above
All it's wonders still remain
Souls still take eternal passage
Sins atoned, and heaven gained
Sins atoned and heaven gained...
