Once Upon a Cross Upon a Hill Called Calvary

 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

Oh, once upon a cross upon a hill called Calvary

A Once for All Sacrifice gave His life for you and me

No one can arrogate it and no offering annul

The once for all Atonement Jesus Christ has paid in full

Faithful through mortal ages the Pledge of Redemption stands

Sealed by the blood of Jesus, signed with heaven’s nail-scarred hands

No note can nullify it and no sinner can exceed

The grace that poured from Christ the Lord to satisfy man’s Need

What masses deemed as failure, as His lifeless form they saw

Upon a love-begotten cross, rent The Veil and The Law

For blood of bulls and rams could never satisfy God’s wrath

Where His own Son laid down His life on broken man’s behalf

Then come, lift high the glory-song of Hope with every breath

For once upon a cross upon a hill Christ conquered death

By death; He overcame the world even as ages roll

The power of the cross abides; The Saviour of the soul
