O ’twas wondrous love the Savior showed for me

O ’twas wondrous love the Savior showed for me!

When He left His throne for Calvary

Shrinking not

enduring suff’ring

poverty

Hardship on His pathway—all for me!

All the way to Calvary He went for me

He went for me

He went for me

All the way to Calvary He went for me

To save

give life to me.

O what painful sight! My Savior on the tree

Thorn-crowned head

and nail wounds borne for me;

Gashes from the flogging

blood-streams flowing free;

Pain He tasted

out of love for me!

Suffering at Calvary in love for me

In love for me

in love for me;

Suffering at Calvary in love for me

From bonds He set me free!

O how dark the earth! God’s judgment man could see;

Holy wrath

as fire

raged mightily!

Righteousness slew Him who bore my sins for me;

He received the punishment for me.

Crucified at Calvary instead of me

Instead of me

instead of me;

Crucified at Calvary instead of me

My sins He bore for me!

Once a trembling sinner

ignorant of grace

Now I’ve seen His side pierced in my place

Heard

“My blood

to purchase your forgiveness

streamed”;

Now I know His death has me redeemed!

Shedding blood at Calvary

redeeming me!

Redeeming me! Redeeming me!

Shedding blood at Calvary

redeeming me

From woe He set me free!
