BECAUSE OF CALVARY

I could take the easy way
Of drifting with the tide;
But I would serve because of Calvary,
Where Jesus bled and died.

Because of how He suffered there;
My life to Him I give.
There, He freely took my place;
Because of Calvary, I live!

You may ask, "Why do the things,
A Christian's asked to do?
Why not join the multitude,
Instead of travelling with the few?"

The answer is really simple;
The world is naught but dross,
To those whose sins are washed away
By the blood of Calvary's cross!

Though salvation cost me nothing;
It was given to me free -
I want to be His servant,
Because of Calvary!
