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!

22 years I spent vanity and pride , since my birth, caring not my Lord was crucified for me. Then His mercy and grace found me and brought me to the knowledge that He died indeed for me. Yes my Lord Jesus bled and died for me and multiplied God's grace and pardon for me, grace and pardon to be delivered and live as His child. Today I am 57 and still a work in progress. Thank you Lord.

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!

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.

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.
