Saturday Songs -35- "This Is Calvary"

The Special of the Day… From the Orange Moon Cafe…

Friends: each Saturday (or Monday!)  this year, we are sending the lyrics and a recorded version of one of our songs.   I wrote and arranged this one as simply as possible in order to direct all the attention to message rather than the music.  Calvary and Calvary's Christ speaks for itself.  Thanks, Glen



Saturday Songs

-35-

“This Is Calvary”



Sorrow and pain, Oh, sorrow and pain,
and a Lamb that was slain.
Sorrow and pain, Oh, sorrow and pain,
and a Lamb that was slain.

Oh this, oh this is Calvary.
This is the price that He paid
for you and me.
Sorrow and pain, Oh, sorrow and pain,
and a Lamb that was slain.

Thorns, nails and blood and a heart that was torn,
and a soul so alone, so alone.
The darkest of night every comfort aflight,
yes, a soul so alone, so alone.

Oh this, oh this is Calvary.
This is the price that He paid for you and me.
Sorrow and pain, Oh, sorrow and pain,
and a Lamb that was slain.

We can never repay the sad price of that day,
when our Savior gave all, He gave all.
We can choose to recall, and to our knees we can fall,
and give our thanks for the price that He paid.

Oh this, oh this is Calvary.
This is the price that He paid
for you and me.
Sorrow and pain, Oh, sorrow and pain,
and a Lamb that was slain.
