THREE LOOKS AT CALVARY

When first I looked at Calvary's cross,
I saw God's wrath displayed;
I saw how much He hated sin,
and frightened...ran away.
For I knew that I was sinful, too;
Deserving death as well,
I did not know which way to turn
to get away from hell.

I looked again to Calvary's cross
and saw God's love displayed;
For Christ was dying in my place,
my sins on Him were laid.
He beckoned me to come to Him,
not run as I had done before;
I saw Him as my dying Lord,
and claimed him as Savior evermore!

One more look to Calvary's cross
Caused all self to die in me;
Twas not my Savior dying there,
I saw myself upon that tree!
YES! He died that I might not live
as the man I used to be!
I'm dead ! I dies on Calvary's cross
Now Jesus lives on in me!!
