Verse 1: 
 
            G            C           G 
There are things as we travel this earth’s shifting sands 
         D               D7       G   G7 
That transcend all the reason of man 
          C          Cm         G 
But the things that matter the most in this world 
           D       D7          G   G7 
They can never be held in our hand 
 
Chorus:

I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary 
G    D/F#   Em      A7        Am7   D7 
I'll  be - lieve whatever the cost 
          G           B7            C          A7 
And when time has surrendered and earth is no more 
             D            D7          G 
I'll still cling to that old rugged cross

I believe that the Christ who was slain on the cross 
          D        D7           G   G7 
Has the power to change lives today 
          C           Cm         G 
For He changed me completely, a new life is mine 
         D          D7           G   G7 
That is why by the cross I will stay

I believe that this life with its great mysteries 
          D          D7         G   G7 
Surely someday will come to an end 
      C          Cm           G 
But faith will conquer the darkness and death 
          D          D7          G    G7 
And will lead me at last to my Friend 
 
Repeat Chorus
