Viewing Calvary’s cross
Harboring Savior’s blood
Marking enemy’s loss
Springing forth, mercy’s bud
Filling lungs with praises
Singing to most high God
Tasting life He raises
Witnessing grace now thawed
Making each joyful sound
Worshipping with gladness
Sending each, Heaven bound
Breathing without sadness
Traveling oceans deep
Guiding from heavens’ stars
Leading all wayward sheep
Knowing Christ never far
Entering Shepherd’s gate
Giving thanks in God’s name
Feeling sin’s empty weight
Trusting redemption’s claim

Shall never dim
Remember Calvary
Tomb emptied of Him
Raking through ashes
Ember’s flame used

Memories infused
Prayers of witness
God’s promised Word

Every whisper heard
Joy’s breath coming back
Light full of grace
Spirit always present
Hope fills welcome place
Christ reigns forever
Shall come again
With Heaven’s ticket punched
Only He knows when
