Calvary

Jesus, I don't know how you did it How you bore the weight of that stake I can't imagine the pain you felt As they dragged you away for my sake When they stripped you naked And pounded thorns in your head I don't know how you did it Knowing soon you'd be dead Jesus, I don't know how you did it How you faced that angry scene I can't imagine the pain you felt When "Crucify Him" they screamed When they spit on you, and scorned you And kicked you on your shins I can't imagine the pain you felt As the nails went through your skin It must have been a rainy day For no other would seem right That day you died at Calvary The world lost all its light I'm sure all the angels cried 'Cause I surely would have too I don't know how you did it, Lord My heart is grateful to you Thank you Jesus for paying A price not yours to pay Thank you Jesus for giving to me All your pain on that fateful day
