I know sure__ly He Died on Calvary
Sure__ly, Died on Calvary

They put nails in his hands, Nails in His feet
But He stayed on the cross Just for me
I know sure__ly I believe He died
Sure__ly, Died on Calvary

A crown of thorns on his head
The blood came streaming down
He was on the cross
They mocked Him on the ground
Surely the Lord died, yes He died
Sure__ly, Died on Calvary

He didn't have to do it
He could have set Himself free
He didn't have to do
But He stayed there just for me
Sure__ly, surely, surely He Died on Calvary
Sure__ly, Died on

He died, He died, on Cavalry
