Lyrics
Make me sorry, think about Jesus
Make me sorry, think about Jesus
Make me sorry, think about Jesus
Surely he died on Calvary
Don't you hear, the hammer ringin'
Don't you hear, the hammer ringin'
Don't you hear, the hammer ringin'
Surely he died on Calvary
Don't you hear, the saviour groaning
Don't you hear, the saviour groaning
Don't you hear, the saviour groaning
Surely he died on Calvary
Don't you hear him calling his father
Don't you hear him calling his father
Don't you hear him calling his father
Surely he died on Calvary
