Lyrics

Stanza one- On a hill, so very long ago, in time, a trans-formation changed the course of life, it's a story that is often told-, a hidden wealth, worth more than gold

Chorus- On the cross, the Savior died for me, He gave me victory, & bought my liberty, & now, I'm free from guilt & shame, the Lord has changed my name, it was the gift, the gift at Calvary

Stanza two- The time has come, to share this precious new, of hope, that God so loved the world, He gave His Son, nothing else, could bring me back to Him, eternal life, now live within

Chorus-
