I Dreamt I Stood At Calvary
I dreamt I stood at Calvary And saw three crosses
there; On left and right were nailed two thieves,
The cross between was bare. A soldier took his sword in
hand, Then pointed it at me: He said "You there,
prepare to die. That cross is meant for thee." I
quickly fell upon my knees, For mercy did I cry; As
strong hands grabbed my hands and feet, I shouted "Why, oh
why?" And then a voice both soft and sweet Was heard
above the din; "Let this one go, take me instead.
I'll pay his price for sin." With his body torn and
bleeding And thornmarks round his head; With bruises
where they beat him, He stepped into my stead. Then
Jesus laid upon the cross, His life did freely
give, |
