VERSE 1

C                       F   C 
Years I spent in vanity and pride,

G7                     C  F C 
caring not my Lord was crucified,

                          F  C       Dm G7 C 
knowing not it was for me he died on Calvary.

REFRAIN 

F                         C  
Mercy there was great and grace was free,

G7                    C 
pardon there was multiplied to me,

F                              C 
there my burdened soul found liberty,

   Dm G7 C 
at Calvary.

VERSE 2

C                            F C 
By God's word at last my sin I learned;

G7                     C   F   C 
then I trembled at the law I'd spurned,

                          F   C         Dm G7 C 
till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.

REFRAIN 

F                         C  
Mercy there was great and grace was free,

G7                    C 
pardon there was multiplied to me,

F                              C 
there my burdened soul found liberty,

   Dm G7 C 
at Calvary.

VERSE 3

C                          F C 
Now I've giv'n to Jesus everything,

G7                   C  F  C 
now I gladly own him as my King;

                           F  C       Dm G7 C 
now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary.

REFRAIN 

F                         C  
Mercy there was great and grace was free,

G7                    C 
pardon there was multiplied to me,

F                              C 
there my burdened soul found liberty,

   Dm G7 C 
at Calvary.

VERSE 4

C                           F      C 
Oh! the love that drew salvation's plan!

G7                            C    F  C 
Oh! the grace that brought it down to man,

                             F   C       Dm G7 C 
Oh! the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.

REFRAIN 

F                         C  
Mercy there was great and grace was free,

G7                    C 
pardon there was multiplied to me,

F                              C 
there my burdened soul found liberty,

   Dm G7 C 
at Calvary.
