Up to the hill of Calvary My Savior went courageously and there he bled and died for me Hallelujah for the cross
And on that day the world was changed A final, perfect lamb was slain Let earth and heaven now proclaim Hallelujah for the cross
[Chorus:] Hallelujah for the war He fought Love has won, death has lost Hallelujah for the souls He bought Hallelujah for the cross
What good I’ve done could never save My debt too great for deeds to pay But God, my Savior, made a way Hallelujah for the cross
A slave to sin, my life was bound But all my chains fell to the ground When Jesus’ blood came flowing down Hallelujah for the cross
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah And when I breathe my final breath I’ll have no need to fear that rest This hope will guide me into death Hallelujah for the cross
