a place on calvary

lower my body

and lift my soul

and tell me to come on home

let me leave this world of sin

'cause heaven is were i want to roam

i'll bow my head

raise my hands

get down on my knees

i just beg and pray that i someday

will have a place on calvary

now we've all been blessed by the grace of god

and his spirit within us lives

but still we ask for other things

and still our god forgives

but lord

there's just a one more thing

a personal favor for me

i just want to suggest

to make a request

for a place on calvary

lower my body

and lift my soul

and tell me to come on home

let me leave this world of sin

'cause heaven is were i want to roam

i'll bow my head

raise my hands

get down on my knees

i just beg and pray that i someday

will have a place on calvary

now the good book tells us how it was

more than many years ago

and i've read every word

in black and red

but still i have to know

if all my deeds on earth won't measure up

will my soul still be set free?

ah

if i deserve though i don't deserve

lower my body

and lift my soul

and tell me to come on home

let me leave this world of sin

'cause heaven is were i want to roam

i'll bow my head

raise my hands

get down on my knees

i just beg and pray that i someday

will have a place on calvary

i just beg and pray that i someday

will have a place on calvary

calvary

calvary

calvary

calvary

calvary
