On the cross and they hung him 
shame was foresaken 
As they drove the nails in his hands and his feet. 
As death closed his eyes 
his cries went to heaven 
Oh Father forgive them 
I hear him redeem. 

(Chorus)

One morning past day-break 
as the crowd slowly gathered 
Like a sheep he was humble 
to his Father's own will 
So sad was his face there 
the birds hushed their singing 
They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill. 

In the tomb he was layed but 
death could not hurt him 
He was God's only son 
in this world below. 
On the cross he fulfilled the 
plan of salvation 
I want to thank Jesus 
for his coming again. 

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill.
