ON A HILL IN CALVARY

 

On a hill in Calvary

In a savage unenlightened time

Nailed upon a rugged cross

By brutal hand

They thought to kill a man

To snuff out his light

That light of purest love

Unquenchable, indestructible

 

On that hill in Calvary

He died for us

The shadow of that cross

Cast upon the bloody land

Was an illuminating shadow

That spread light and love

Shining across millennia

Unquenchable, indestructible

 

On that hill in Calvary

He died for us

In that savage unenlightened time

Murdered by brutal hand

Humiliated, dehumanised

But through his love for us

And his sacrifice for us

He redeemed us
