En El Monte Calvario Estaba Una Cruz

On Mount Calvary there was a cross
Emblem of shame and pain
But I love that cross where my Jesus died
To save the vilest sinner

On the cross of Jesus his blood was shed
I contemplate unparalleled beauty
For in it he triumphantly conquered death
And my being can sanctify

Oh, I will always love that cross
In his triumphs my glory will be
And one day instead of a cross
My crown Jesus will give me

On the cross you suffered my pain
Your blood bought me
Your death gave life

Although the world despises the cross of Jesus
For me it has great attraction
For in it I carry the Lamb of God
The condemnation of my soul

Oh, I will always love that cross
In his triumphs my glory will be
And one day instead of a cross
My crown Jesus will give me
