Calvary - Crooked Still
[00:15.39]There's a hill ...
[00:15.39]There's a hill lone and grey
[00:18.00]In a land far away,
[00:19.29]In a country beyond the blue sea;
[00:23.07]Where beneath that fair sky,
[00:24.90]Went a man forth to die,
[00:28.08]For the world and for you and for me.
[00:30.93]Oh, it bowed down my heart
[00:32.70]And the teardrops will start,
[00:34.38]When in memory all the grey hill I see;
[00:38.28]For 'twas there on its side
[00:40.02]Jesus suffered and died,
[00:41.19]To redeem a poor sinner like me.
[00:48.09]Behold, faint on the road,
[00:50.04]'Neath the world's heavy load,
[00:51.60]Comes a thorn-crowned man on the way;
[00:55.62]With a cross, he is bowed,
[00:57.57]But still on through the crowd,
[00:59.43]He's ascending that hill lone and grey.
[01:03.24]Hark, I hear the dull blow
[01:05.10]Of the hammer swung low;
[01:07.05]They are nailing my Lord to the tree
[01:10.83]And the cross they up-raise
[01:12.69]While the multitude gaze
[01:14.61]On the blessed Lamb of dark Calvary.
[01:18.54]Oh, it bowed down my heart
[01:20.76]And the teardrops will start,
[01:22.05]When in memory all the grey hill I see;
[01:25.95]For 'twas there on its side
[01:27.72]Jesus suffered and died,
[01:29.91]To redeem a poor sinner like me.
[01:54.12]How they mocked him in death
[01:56.04]To his last laboring breath,
[01:57.81]While His friends sadly wept o'er the way.
[02:02.07]But though lonely and faint,
[02:03.42]Still no word of complaint
[02:05.16]Fell from Him on that hillock of grey.
[02:09.24]Then a darkness come down
[02:10.92]And the rocks went around,
[02:12.69]And a cry pierced the sad-laden air;
[02:16.29]'Twas the voice of our King,
[02:18.18]Who received death's dark sting,
[02:20.19]All to save us from endless despair.
[03:20.76]Let the sun hide its face,
[03:22.86]Let the earth reel space,
[03:24.75]Over man who their Savior have slain;
[03:28.53]But, behold, from the sod
[03:30.51]Comes the blessed Lamb of God,
[03:32.46]Who was slain, but is risen again.
[03:37.02]Oh, it bowed down my heart
[03:38.79]And the teardrops will start,
[03:40.53]When in memory all the grey hill I see;
[03:43.32]For 'twas there on its side
[03:46.17]Jesus suffered and died,
[03:48.81]To redeem a poor sinner like me.
