Calvary Covers It ALL!


Bible Verse:

Ephesians 1:7  "He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins." New Living Translation (NLT)

Prayer: "Dear Lord, I am so thankful that Your sacrifice on the cross means that no matter how many times I mess up, I can continue to come to You and ask for forgiveness. That doesn't mean I should make a habit of sinning, but I know that I'm human and will keep making mistakes.  These days it seems like I've been making a lot of them. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!  Wash out my heart and make me new again! Help me to feel excited about You the way that I did when I first gave my heart to You. I miss that feeling . . . I miss walking with You and trusting You like a little child would. Bring me back to that, Lord.  Don't give up on me, please. I do love You! In Jesus' name, Amen."

Lyrics Below


Verse 1:
Far dearer than all
That the world can impart
Was the message that came to my heart
How that Jesus alone
For my sin did atone
And Calvary covers it all

CHORUS
Calvary covers it all
My past with its sin and stain
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there
And Calvary covers it all

Verse 2:
The stripes that He bore
And the thorns that He wore
Told His mercy and love evermore
And my heart bowed in shame
As I called on His name
And Calvary covers it all

CHORUS
Calvary covers it all
My past with its sin and stain
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there
And Calvary covers it all

Verse: 3
How matchless the grace
When I looked on the face
Of this Jesus my crucified Lord
My redemption complete
I then found at His feet
And Calvary covers it all

CHORUS
Calvary covers it all
My past with its sin and stain
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there
And Calvary covers it all

Verse 4:
How blessed the thought
That my soul by Him bought
Shall be His in the glory on high
Where with gladness and song
I'll be one of the throng
And Calvary covers it all

CHORUS
Calvary covers it all
My past with its sin and stain
My guilt and despair
Jesus took on Him there
And Calvary covers it all
