He Took Your Place Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Upon the rugged cross of Calvary 

Was there my blessed Savior cried 

Forgive them for they know not what they do 

Oh, sinner friend, for thee he died 

His hands are gently knocking on your door 

Outside he's pleading to come in 

His heart is breaking as he waits for you 

To wash you free from every sin 

Someday he's coming back to claim his own 

We'll fly to Heaven's golden shore 

A crown of life he gives on that glad day 

With him we'll live forever more 

Those cruel thorns they pierced my Savior's head 

The blood was flowing down his face 

In shame, forsaken there he hung and died 

Oh, sinner friend, he took you place
