VERSE 1
I am not worthy to call Heaven home
To claim forgiveness, mercy and grace
That flow from His throne
I should have died there on Golgotha’s tree
Instead of our God sending His Son
It should have been me
CHORUS
Before the nail touched the wood at Calvary
To save the soul of a beggar like me
God had a plan He put into place
To save me the pain
When I look back I know that I could
Never forget the day Jesus took
All of my sin
When the nail touched His Hand….
Before the nail touched the wood
VERSE 2
I am a witness of Calvary’s love
My old life was changed by the dark crimson stain
Of my Savior’s blood
I am so thankful His Spirit’s in me
For that empty tomb, my God is alive
I stand redeemed
CHORUS (modulate on the last chorus)
