In the Garden of Gethsemane,
He shed great drops of agony,
He prayed, Father, if it be Thy will, let this bitter cup pass from Me;
But it was God's will, that He should go and die on Calvary;
The pain that He bore, the blood that He shed was for me.
CHORUS:
That day at Calvary, (That day at Calvary,)
It changed my history, (it changed my history,)
It gave me a new outlook on life,
Now I can conquer the sin and the strife
The devil throws at me, (The devil throws at me,)
while on this journey, (while on this journey,)
Oh what a change happened that day at Calvary!
Back when my life was still held in sins bondage,
I had a great fear of things that I couldn't understand;
But when I came to know the fabulous love of Jesus,
He banished my fears and firmly took hold of my hand!
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
Oh what a change happened that day at Calvary.
