Verse 1

There’s a hill that they call Calvary
Just beyond those city streets
What a wasted land it used to be
Now the way into eternity

Verse 2

There’s a mount they call
The place of skulls
Just outside those city walls
Where the worst of all were left to die
Now the door that leads to paradise

Chorus

The place of healing
The place of mercy
Where all the lost
Lay down their shame
The place You found me
The place You freed me
And saved my soul to sing Your praise

Verse 3

Imagine now that sacred scene
The centerpiece of history
Where the one who spoke the world to be
Now for perfect love and justice bleeds

Verse 4

From the highest heights of majesty
To the depths of shame and agony
Here where God himself hung on a tree
Now the holy ground where I run free

Chorus

The place of healing
The place of mercy
Where all the lost
Lay down their shame
The place You found me
The place You freed me
And saved my soul to sing Your praise

Bridge

It is here
It is here
I find my life
And I lay it down
It is here
It is here
I take up my cross
And lay down my crown

Verse 5

From the hill that they call Calvary
To the borrowed tomb that held the King
On this hallowed ground I sing today
How Your death and life have made a way
O that cross and tomb my victory

Chorus

The place of healing
The place of mercy
Where all the lost
Lay down their shame
The place You found me
The place You freed me
And saved my soul to sing Your praise

Tag

And saved my soul
To sing Your praise

Outro

With all my soul
I’ll sing Your praise
