(Verse 1)
Two thousand years ago, outside the Eastern Gate,
They led Jesus to Goliahta's Hill, He went there in my place.
Across His scared, and beaten back, a world of sin was tossed;
They nailed Him to, that rugged tree, where the timbers cross.

(Chorus):
That old rugged hill became the battlefield,
Where the war for the souls of men was fought.
And as the battle raged, death, hell and the grave, they lost;
And victory hung, where the timbers cross.

(Verse 2)
The earth was black as midnight, and 'neath the darkened sky,
Forsaken for a debt not His, our Lord was crucified.
And through His bitter anguish, He counted not the cost;
He paid the price for you and me, where the timbers cross.

(Chorus)......

then sing.... Jesus shed His blood for you and me, where the timbers cross.
