Calvary

Best version/performance of this song is by the Florida Boys with tenor Greg Cook singing the lead.
The song captures among other Scriptures, Romans 5:8
“But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

When He Was On the Cross, I Was On His Mind
I’m not on an ego trip, I’m nothing on my own
I make mistakes and sometimes slip
Just common flesh and bone
But I’ll prove someday just why I say
I’m of a special kind
For when He was on the cross
I was on His mind

A look of love was on His face
The thorns were in His head
The blood was on that scarlet robe
And stained it crimson red
Though His eyes were on the crowd that day
He looked ahead in time
For when He was on the cross
I was on His mind

He knew me, yet He loved me
He whose glory makes the Heaven’s shine
So unworthy, of such mercy
For when He was on the cross
I was on His mind
For when He was on the cross
I was on His mind
