Lyrics
G
They call it the place, the place of the skull
C G
Where the cold winds blow
C G
They crucify them on a cross
C Em
Breaking their bones
Em Am
On a hill called Golgotha
D
On a hill called Golgotha
G C G
Some people watched, others mocked, while others sneered
C G C
They hurled their insults, they spit on him and one threw a
Em
spear
Em Am
On a hill called Golgotha
D
On a hill called Golgotha
Am C D
The Lord He could have sent angels
Am C D
To save His one and only Son
Am C D
But His love was so amazing
Am C Em
He held His angels, He held them back
Em Am D
He held His angels back, He held His angels back
Am C D
What are you gonna do with Jesus
Am C D
I hope my friend your not that proud
Am C D
Cause one of these days the skies will open
Am C Em
And every knee, every knee will bow
Dm Am D
Every tongue will confess and every knee will bow
G
They call it the place, the place of the skull
C G
But Jesus conquered all
C G
So lets be joyful, lets rejoice
C Em
Rejoice forevermore
Am
For a hill called Golgotha
Am D
For a hill called Golgotha
D Am C
For a hill called Golgotha
D Am C D
Golgotha, so many sins on Golgotha, Golgotha
D Am C
He died for our sins on Golgotha
D
Golgotha
