Every step on the Calvary road meant “I love you”
Every step on the Calvary road meant “Trust my love”
This living proof that God has sent
Makes His love more than evident
This is His Love Incarnate sent down from above
Every step on the Calvary road meant “I love you”
Every step on the Calvary road meant “Hope in me”
Every step toward the rugged cross
Meant that true gain would come from loss
God’s righteousness would be displayed for all to see
Once and for all on the Calvary road
Closer with each step that he strode
Christ paid the sin-debt that we owed
Reaped the wages of sin with His death
It was finished and done with His last breath
Every step on the Calvary road meant “I love you”
Every step on the Calvary road meant “Sin will die”
Every step it was Christ’s intent
To achieve the purpose for which He was sent
For each step was a step to destroy the devil’s lie.
Every step on the Calvary road meant “I love you”
Every step on the Calvary road meant “Peace will come”
Every step on that sorrowful path
Meant a sure end to the Father’s wrath
That was poured out against our sin on the Holy One
Once and for all on the Calvary road
Closer with each step that he strode
Christ would pay the sin-debt that we owed
Reaped the wages of sin with His death
It was finished and done with His last breath
Every step on the Calvary road meant “I love you”
Every step on the Calvary road said “Behold the lamb”
For that cross held the sacrifice
That would bring to us new life in Christ
For on that way of suff’ring walked the Great I AM.
