you died on a hill on Calvary’s tree
the last you thought was a thought of me
you gave up your life to set men free
safe from harm upon Calvary’s tree
You gave me the love I needed to see
you told me truths only I needed to hear
you took away my uncleanness and made me pure
you took my heart and opened its door
you gave me new life, one holy and pure
made me eternal for evermore
you saved me from sin and made me new
you tore me away from feeling blue
you saw me through my pains
took away my tears and filled me with joy
giving me new life fo future years away
you’ve taken my heart
and filled it up now
but it’s overwhelming for those long-lost souls
so my heart overflows
pining with love for other still lost souls
souls still lost in the search pulls me strong
I only want to reach and help them
my heart cries for you
but I cannot find the way ahead
to follow your will
to reach out in your name
I come so close
yet you seem so far away
capture my love
give me the time that I need
my heart yearns
in sorrow filled dreams
I cry and I cry
but cannot feel heard
where is the love to hold me fast
have I lost your love along the way
I am blinded now
even when I try
Why have I not reached you goal for me
why have I still fallen short today
my time is coming near but still I cannot see trough
my time is coming near
but I still cannot see through my fears
how than can I see through to you
yet still not find my way
I know you are there
but I still gotta ask where are you
why am I so blind to what is for known
my heart has been torn so many a time
but I still continue to grow in that long thin line
even then I still say where are you
I cannot find your great desire
please oh lord just give me a sign
why is it no one can be just like you
you created us in your likeness
you loved,
you laughed,
you even helped us through
but in the end
the only one perfect is still just you
no matter how hard we may try
we truly could never be just like you
bring us home
bring us home
we need you lord
we need you now
no more tears
no more fears
no more sorrow
no more pain
until the end you are our gain
life is so hard and ever so long
but all the more we carry on
you died on a hill on Calvary’s tree
the last thought you thought was a thought of me
you gave up your life and set me free
safe from harm on Calvary’s tree
you gave me the love I needed to see
you told me the truths I needed to hear
you took away my uncleanness and made me pure
you took my heart and opened its door
giving me new life
you remembered me all along
traveling long trying paths still looking for the way
you shown a light to guide my way
brought me people to help them see you too
still I don’t feel the satisfaction of me
I still look in life for the truth for my very own roads
I still feel a sense of pain and dismay
even after you have taken it all from within me
knowing that it will never go away
I still move on ahead looking for my way
down winding roads
and hurdles in my way
you ask me why
I answer because you have been there as my friend along my way
you have seen me through each day
and when I couldn’t go no more
you carryed me the rest of the way pulling me back ahead
now I tell your story for others to hear
only hearing the truths will bring them near
near where they can create their own journey with you
their own experiences helping them grow with you as I have so
you have held my hand along the whole way
you have remained that friend
you have shown and shared so many miracles I have seen
to them I share just what stories of my own I have seen
I am the voice to change one’s life for their way
knowing this I still long for you
for your closeness and love
that I feel embrace me
you died on a hill on Calvary’s tree
the last thought you thought was a thought of me
you gave up your life to set me free
safe from harm upon Calvary’s tree
you gave me the love I needed to see
you told me the truths Only I needed to hear
you took away my uncleanness and made me pure
you took my heart and opened its door
you took my life and save my soul from death and suffering
you are faithful
you are true
you are Jesus Christ
you are the son of God
you are the peace and life for men
the one who loved me and saved me setting me free
