Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.

Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!

Good morning,
This hymn came to me this morning while I was performing my work. Isn’t our Lord so sweet and precious?
I thank Him for me reminding me of His sacrifice and how I was once oblivious to His concern for me. Praise Him for His eternal salvation. Thank you Lord Jesus. I take you as my King today! Hallelujah!!!

I am watching Donnie Swaggart at this moment talk about this song.. the writer of the song's father pleaded time after time with the Moody Bible institute to accept his wayward son.. each time he was denied because he was not a born again believer.. after several requests to the Moody Bible institute he was finally admitted.. and the Lord changed his life and he penned these lyrics and the music teacher there wrote the music..

This is one of the greatest songs ever written and sung by saints. My choice song after "amazing grace how sweet the sound.". Always humbled beyond measur, whenever I meditate on the wording of the song. God bless the author and all the choicesouls upholding the song by circulating it. Peace.

I stumbled on this song one morning after my devotion and meditation. I never used to sing the song before. But I have heard the song sang by passersby. So on that faithful morning of praying and pleading with God to help me, behold this song came up. I did not know the wordings, all I knew was at calvary and o. So I goggled that and this song popped up. It became the answer to my prayer.
'The love of God is great and his grace is free. His pardon to me is mulplied, my burden soul found liberty because of God greatest gift of His son Jesus Christ.
I sang this song everyday. I forwarded it to my friends and family. I am amazed by the meaning embedded in this song.
God drew the salvation plan for sinful mankind in love.
God's grace brought this plan to man only at Calvary. Hallelujah. What a loving Father.

Heard this song out of the blue yesterday (Good Friday) It was sung acapella by an all mens choir. Spellbinding is how I will describe it. So much so that this morning it was the first thing I've been thinking about since I woke up. It has been years since I remember singing it but it came back to me like I have always known it. I fell to my knees in worship of Jesus, as I realize that all of my salvation hinges on Him coming, Thank you Lord Jesus! Thank you Father God for sending HIm. There is nothing in this world as important as knowing Jesus. I love you Lord. He is the kindest, most loving Lord, and He is the only way to God our Father. Blessings to all of you out there.

I remember singing this song as a child. It brought back wonderful memories of coming into the knowledge of who Jesus is and receiving him as my Savior along with my parents and sister.
