When you walked down that road carryin' that tree
Was I on your mind?
When you walked up that hill staring fate in the eyes
Was I on your mind?
Though I reap the benefits after
It was me with the nails and the hammer
At Calvary my debt was paid, a cost I could never cover on my best day
Calvary on a criminal's cross an innocent man on a tree
Died for a criminal like me
When you laid on that pole and felt the metal
Was I on your mind?
And when the nail pierced your skin, drove into the wood
Was I on your mind?
Though I reap the benefits after
It was me with the nails and the hammer
At Calvary my debt was paid, a cost I could never cover on my best day
Calvary on a criminal's cross an innocent man on a tree
Died for a criminal like me
When you hung there upright, when you struggled to breath
When you looked in your mother's eyes, when you asked for a drink
When you heard them mock, when your back felt weak
When you cried out to God, when you forgave me
When you gave up your spirit, when you breathed your last
When you finished the job, when the sky turned black
When the veil ripped apart, when the Father cried
When the whole earth wept, 'cause the Son of God died
At Calvary my debt was paid, a cost I could never cover on my best day
Calvary on a criminal's cross an innocent man on a tree
Died for a criminal
Paid for a criminal
Rose again for a criminal like me
