Hanging here on a tree on dark Calvary
Theres a man hanging by my side
Bonds of love have him bound
As His blood falls to the ground
From the stripes that crown of thorns that he wears.
Not long ago my voice was heard mingled with their scornful words
AS I mocked His holy name
Then in some amazing way grace then gave me strength to say
When thou comest into thy kingdom Oh Lord remember me
The King of all eternity then turned and looked at me
And I thought Oh how foolish can I be
Lord I could never work for thee for I am nailed to this old tree
And my past is filled with misery and shame
I cant believe the words I hear falling now upon my ear
A display of grace so full and free
Floods of joy now fill my eyes when I hear these words to my surprise
Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise
Tell me what did He ever see in me
My yesterdays' are in shambles
The grave my destiny
This my song thru endless ages and through all eternity
Tell me what did He ever
What did He ever Oh what did He ever See in me?
