At Calvary

Very quickly, after wakening, lyrics from this song came into my thoughts.. "Mercy there was great and grace was free".. I started singing.. I then looked up the lyrics ..

"O the Love that drew salvations plan.. O the Grace that brought it down to man.. O the Mighty gulf that God did span.. At Calvary! Amazing Grace! Glory to God! It is Finished!

HalleluYah!!!

I loved the music as a child and sang once in a while in adulthood but never knew or paid attention to the lyrics.

Today, Easter Tuesday, I woke up with the tune in mind and opened the lyrics... indeed, it tells my story too but Importantly, the fact that I struggled with Assurance of Salvation as it didn't feel right that Grace was so free and Mercy so great. I PRAISE GOD, MY BURDENED AND TROUBLED SOUL FOUND LIBERTY when I accepted the finished work and the Holy Spirit made me realise Jesus payment for my salvation was once and for all, it was for me as I am, as I have accepted it and Him, He will never leave me nor forsake me. ALLELUIA

No scheme of man can snatch me from God’s love because, It was at Calvary I was made whole.

Thank you Jesus.

I don’t have the words that express how grateful I am for the salvation that came to me. It is everything to me. If I lost everything else I would still have Jesus. He is my savior. He is my soul possession. He holds my heart. Nothing can snatch me out of His hands.

I love this song

This song has a very special meaning to me. It is one I really enjoy playing and singing. Mercy and grace was given to me in 1952 at Calvary Baptist Church in Nashville. A day I will never forget. I had struggled with the holy spirit for weeks under conviction even during a revival with my family during a 2-week revival service prior to this time. It was a cold and snowy Sunday morning I will never forget when I asked Jesus into my heart. So I love when they sing about at Calvary because that's where it happened.

It reminds me of how Christ brought me out of the dungeon of sin into His marvelous grace and light

Thinking back this morning as I woke up of that “moment in time” that Jesus saved me from my sins. I was dying in sun and Jesus gave me life. I am so thankful for that day over 43 years ago that my burdened soul found freedom at Calvary! 🙏 it’s as vivid in my mind today as it was the day I first saw the Light and came to know that and understand that Jesus died for me!! I never knew it was for me. This is actually one of the first hymns I heard in the my church after I was saved. I would weep whenever we sang it and am always stirred by it. All three stanzas tell the story of my life. Everytime I hear or sing it I give thanks to God for spanning that mighty gulf for me! 🙏 that’s why I love him so. And now I’m safe within the arms of God! Thanking God today for Jesus and for the love that drew salvation’s plan! Lord Jesus, I love you! You are our great Saviour! Oh saints of God, let us remember what a great salvation we have!! 🙌🏼

We sang this song today in RCCG Divine Touch Parish, Yoruba Road, GRA Ilorin. It reassuringly melodious. May we not miss heaven having known what He did for us at Calvary. God bless you.
