At first just a Baby in a manger
Then a Child that roamed
the streets of Galilee
Just a Boy workin'
in His father's carpenter shop
So long ago
and far away from me
History records
His deeds of greatness
And they tell of
His compassion in His time
But here and now
I've searched for answers
to my problems
Though I found no thought
that gave me peace of mind
But then I saw Him
on the cross at Calvary
I saw the crown of thorns
I saw the nails
in His hands and feet
Redemptions cost
for me displayed
How could my heart
have not been swayed
A sinner lost but then
I saw Him on the cross
Upon my knees
I pleaded at an altar
Lord invite me
where redemption does abide
I cried to God
but seemed to hear no answer
So sure His well
of mercy had run dry
But then I saw Him
on the cross at Calvary
I saw the crown of thorns
I saw the nails
in His hands and feet
Redemptions cost
for me displayed
How could my heart
have not been swayed
A sinner lost but then
I saw Him on the cross
A sinner lost but then
I saw Him on the cross
