I see One hanging on the tree,
It inspires my heart.
My Savior says, “Look unto me,”
It inspires my heart.
Chorus:
Calvary, Calvary,
There is life for a look at the Crucified;
Calvary, Calvary,
It inspires my heart.
I love to think of Calvary,
It inspires my heart.
My Savior died on Calvary,
It inspires my heart.
(Chorus)
Today He pleads His wounded side,
It inspires my heart.
Today He points you to the cross,
It inspires my heart.
(Chorus)
By faith I see His bleeding side,
It inspires my heart.
By faith I hear those bitter groans,
It inspires my heart.
(Chorus)

My thoughts that often mount the skies,

And owns her sov’reign death!
