Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs

We sang this during worship this morning--the highlighted portion really caught my attention and provided a sweet reminder and humble focus in light of where my thoughts have been recently. Talk about water to a thirsty soul...

The Glories of Calvary

Lord, You're calling me to come
And behold the wondrous cross,
To explore the depths of grace,
That came to me at such a cost.
Where Your boundless love
Conquered my boundless sin,
And mercy's arms were opened wide.

Chorus:
My heart is filled with a thousand songs,
Proclaiming the glories of Calvary,
With every breath, Lord how I long
To sing of Jesus who died for me.
Lord, take me deeper
Into the glories of Calvary.

Sinners find eternal joy
In the triumph of Your wounds.
By our Savior's crimson flow
Holy wrath has been removed.
And Your saints below
Join with Your saints above,
Rejoicing in the Risen Lamb.

My heart is filled with a thousand songs,
Proclaiming the glories of Calvary,
With every breath, Lord how I long
To sing of Jesus who died for me.

Lord, take me deeper
Into the glories of Calvary.
