V1
Two thousand years have come and gone
Since Jesus died for me
I love the hymns and holy songs
About that rugged tree

Oh I don’t take for granted 
All the sorrow and the pain
And every time I hear the story
I lift my voice in humble praise….cause

C
Mercy flows where His blood fell
It’s a truth His wounds still tell 
His brow was pierced by a thorny crown
And nails held Him as love poured out

My anthem will be Calvary
My hope is in His suffering
I’m so thankful for those sacred marks
And I sing a brand new victory song….. from His old scars

V2
Ev’ry time I stop and pray
And think about the cross
I realize the price of grace
And all that Heaven lost

Oh I don’t take for granted 
All the sorrow and the pain
And every time I hear the story
I lift my voice in humble praise

C

B
When the sword ran through His side
He became my Sacrifice
