The Relity Of Calvary.



After three decades
He was on a tree
And there he died
For you and me.

But prior to death
He offered himself
As bread and wine
For spiritual health,

And there’s no doubt
It ensured salvation
Via the door to heaven
For every nation.

Oh, yes, the greatest act
Ever to be realised,
Arising from the love
Of He who was sacrificed.
