Monday Hymns

CALVARY COVERS IT ALL
Far dearer than all
that the world can impart
Was the message came to my heart.
How that Jesus alone
for my sin did atone,
And Calvary covers it all.


Chorus
Calvary covers it all,
My past with its sin and stain;
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there,
And Calvary covers it all.

The stripes that He bore
and the thorns that He wore
Told His mercy and love evermore
And my heart bowed in shame
as I called on His name,
And Calvary covers it all.

Chorus
Calvary covers it all,
My past with its sin and stain;
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there,
And Calvary covers it all.

How matchless the grace,
when I looked in the face
Of this Jesus, my crucified Lord;
My redemption complete
I then found at His feet,
And Calvary covers it all.

Chorus
Calvary covers it all,
My past with its sin and stain;
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there,
And Calvary covers it all.

How blessed the thought,
that my soul by Him bought,
Shall be His in the glory on high;
Where with gladness and song,
I'll be one of the throng
And Calvary covers it all.

Chorus
Calvary covers it all,
My past with its sin and stain;
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there,
And Calvary covers it all.

I like this hymn because it reminds me that my sin separated me from GOD. But God, in His love for me, provided a way for my sins to be paid at Calvary, through His Son, JESUS.

PS This is also my very first day of 'going' to school! :)

I hope you enjoyed your first day of school. Did you stay awake all the way home? :)

Beautiful hymn. It's amazing to me how I can sing through those words from memory and not really understand them. But reading them slowly, it brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting these.

I'm so touched by the words of the hymn! We are so unworthy, of course, that's what grace is all about - unmerited forgiveness.

Thanks for sharing! Hope that school is going well for you - may be intimidating, mostly because of the "worldly" cliches.

I would be honored if you visited my web site of cross stitch patterns featuring Bible verses. There is a new free design that has blessed many called, "His Name is Jesus".
