Verse 1
I carried a burden, a staggering weight,
And struggled for freedom but could not escape.
I trembled and cried at the thought of my fate--
What must I do to be saved?
I desperately searched for release from my pain
But found that man's wisdom was useless and vain.
Is there not a power that can break every chain?
What must I do to be saved?
Chorus
Jesus' blood flows from Calvary
Breaking Satan's power, setting captives free.
Greatest gift of the greatest love--
Heaven paid the price with Calvary's blood.
Heaven paid the price with Calvary's blood.
Verse 2
I saw Jesus bleeding; the cross bore His stain;
The men standing by were all mocking His pain.
But then--yes, I heard it--He called out my name:
""Kneel at the cross and be saved.""
I fell at the feet of the One hanging there.
""O Savior, forgive me, "" I cried in despair!
My burden fell off; Jesus answered my prayer.
Kneel at the cross and be saved.
