He Took My Place

There was a man more than a man
Called Jesus Christ of Galilee
There was a place where Jesus prayed
A place that’s called Gasemine
There on a hill called Calvary
There stood a cross of agony
Nailed to that cross where I should be
He took my place at Calvary
Now I'm a child of royalty
And even angels can believe
My Jesus cared so much for me
He took my place at Calvary
Christ Jesus lives He lives today
From sin and debt He set me free
Now hand in hand each place I go
My Jesus Christ He walks with me
And when I ask how could it be
That He could care so much for me
The answer comes so tenderly
He took my place on Calvary
And now my Lord the son of God
I share with everyone I see
I give my best my all to Him
Because He gives so much to me
Now if His own you’ll wanna be
Come join His royal family
Let your heart sing joyfully
He took my place on Calvary
