A Place on Calvary Lyrics

Song by The Statler Brothers

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 mesure 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
